Give me a break. You're the one who likes facts. Here's a fact for you. Bonds hit an HR ver 13 at bats. Babe hit 1 every 12 at bats. No ifs, no buts, no speculation. Babe Ruth is a better homerun hitter because he hit a homerun more often than Bonds did. We could speculate on pitchers all day and believe me I have theoretical arguments up the wazoo, but you like stats and facts and the fact is that Ruth is a better HR hitter than Bonds, because when Bonds made it to Ruth at bat number he had 150 less homeruns than Ruth. So if you bet on Bonds in a game to hit a homerun and I bet on Ruth, at the end of each career I'd have more money because Ruth hit more homeruns and more often.

^But Brady's "competition" of an uncovering Titans secondary doesn't play a factor? Shallow served u homie on that "average home runs per bat" and with u still arguing against that, your 100% contradicting yourself.U the homie, but I call it as I see it.

^so you're upset & dislike the fact that Brady gets so much praise, but you don't think that he will be remembered as a great?Lefty Grove the starter? who faced Babe Ruth 90% of games at least once?& i will ignore that because he was playing with inferior pitching too.lol, i admit the guy is the best baseball player of all time, just not the greatest HR hitter & it's just not enough lmao.
^my bad, i didn't see you say "no doubt he will", i thought it read, "i doubt he will". & my proof is simply logic.people back then had other jobs in the off season, they weren't concerned about staying at the top of their game.they would put a bat or ball down in late September & not pick another one up until March.today a guy like A-Rod or Pujols or Johan or Lincecum barely have an off season.i'm sure they take a few months off when the season ends, but by Decemeber they are getting into a zone.the game was still developing back then.& every team in major league baseball has at least one left handed specialist to get left handed batters out.I.E. Phil Coke & Damaso Marte for the Yankees; they might not even have jobs if statistics didn't show they can get left handed batters out more efficiently than right handed pitchers.
