Ruth was a good pitcher, however he was nowhere near as good a pitcher as he was a hitter.One of the thing people forget is that Ruth was also a great pitcher. He was arguably just as good on the mound as he was at the plate.

This man speaks the truth.If your just picking between Ruth and Mantle I would say Ruth and its not even close. Ruth's numbers are better and he totally changed the game. Ruth is a top 3 all time player and I think you would have a hard time finding anyone that puts Mantle in that category.
Love that!
Clint knows what's up.Ted Williams..
Imagine how good Ty Cobb would have been....if he had three legs.Just imagine how good Mantle could have been if he'd had two good legs.
I'd go with Mays, myself.
Oscar Charleston also needs to be in this discussion.
Dude could throw some cheese.One of the thing people forget is that Ruth was also a great pitcher. He was arguably just as good on the mound as he was at the plate.
But yanno.....steriods.Steroids aside, if you look at the stats, he's right near the top in that argument. Just read through baseball reference
Yes.Ty Cobb
I like your style, E.LeBron James
Agreed!Mantle was a workhorse, but isn't even in the same league as Ruth. Mantle wasn't even the best of his generation, and he was great.
Love this card...you my friend, win 5 internets.
Mantle is arguably the best player of his generation, him and Mays are close, but you could make compelling arguments for both as to who was better.Mantle was a workhorse, but isn't even in the same league as Ruth. Mantle wasn't even the best of his generation, and he was great.

I wouldn't say Mantle and Mays are close. Mantle would probably the most popular player of his generation but Mays was the best player of that generation and the best all around player of all time.
