Actually he completely changed the way the game was played.

Before him Baseball was really low scoring and Homeruns were rare. He held the homerun record for decades and did it on a diet of hot dogs and beer

OP is a complete idiot. Ruth practically invented home runs and power-hitting as a strategy, and brought baseball out of the Dead Ball era. He was also an incredible pitcher with the Red Sox.

The most overrated baseball player of all time, by the way, is Mickey Mantle. He wasn't even the best home run hitter of his era.

Oh, you're so right. Why couldn't he do better than 5,714 strikeouts and 4 no-hitters?

He had 7 no-hitters faggot
>> 4chan /sp/'s God
God here;
I can't just name 1, so how about a top 5 in overated? Note: all 5 are retired, and some are dead.
1. Mickey Mantle.
2. Joe Dimaggio.
3. Reggie Jackson.
4. Wade Boggs.
5. Roger Clemens (Even before he was caught).

My work is done here......

1, 2: Right on
3: He was a good power hitter, but I don't think he'd have that reputation if he didn't play for the Yanks.
4: Really? I think he's underrated.
5: Oh come on. Ignoring the roids, I don't think you CAN overrate a guy with 7 Cy's and over 4,000 strikeouts.

He also was league MVP three times, and Joe D's defense was way better than Aaron's.

And Dimaggio didn't spend his career jacking homers in the fucking Milwaukee and Fulton County stadiums.

Every Baseball player mentioned in this thread (Excluding jobba) is a fucking amazing baseball player.

Oh! Hank Aaron is better than Joe D!? Well shit! Joe must have sucked balls then.

How about we have a most underrated baseball player /thread.

1. Tris Speaker (If you don't know who this is GTFO)
2. Stan "Mothefucking" Musial
3. Lefty Grove
4. Christy Mathewson
5. Hank Aaron (I know I know, but he doesn't get enough respect)

Nolan Ryan, period. No good baseball players come from Texas, see Clemens. No good presidents come from Texas, no good baseball players, because they are all basically traitors to America. Oh, and they are all faggots. Basically, can we hand over Texas to Mexico already? And keep California and the Gasden Purchase for true americans? Frankly I would swap off all of Texas in trade for Baja.

babe ruth. he dominated at a time when most players were AAA quality. he'd probably be a good player in today's mlb, but not a superstar.

Cy young counts for nothing because moronic sportswriters vote on it. Not saying clemens was bad or anything, but don't use an award that was given to barry fucking zito as evidence.

You shouldn't just name Yankees and let the soxfags praise you

Mantle got the triple crown, Dimaggio has the hit streak record, etc.

And Joba is fucking 22 years old, he has 20 more years of major league play and you're already judging him?

That's true with any player in any game who played more than 20 years ago.

Babe didn't get the team of doctors, nutritionists (steroid dealers), massagers, psychologists, physical trainers or the football team of coaches and managers specializing in every aspect of the game

by that logic, the best baseball players of all time are most definitely high school players because they can maintain .750 batting averages. strength of competition matters

No, because Major league players today are better than high school players today.

The 2008 Yankees could probably beat the 1998 Yankees, should we just disregard how awesome the latter was

No, pitchers are much better today, hitters have been catching up, new coaching tactics have been created, etc.

Its not a huge leap to think the best team in 1998 could lose to a mediocre team in 2009

Bullshit. The '98 Yankees won 114 games, these Yankees might not win 75, the way their going. And this isn't some 90-year gap: It was 10 years ago. Some players from then are still around now.

Ruth was also a decent pitcher. He's like a cross between Jesus and Ankiel.
