And he missed years due to the war. Easily would have had over 600 HR's.

7 Years into the league and he's the greatest hitter of all time? :?:
Not even close yet.
Amazing? Yes he is!
The Best? He's got a ways to go!!
Teddy is a great candidate. Couldn't of said it better myself guys.

He is the best Hitter I have seen but we are only talking late 80's 90's and now. I never saw players before those time acually play and bat. Pujols Presence alone is incredible and I can only imagine the earlier players.
Even though Albert will end up with better career numbers, I think Manny is the best hitter in the last twenty years.
Manny might be the most complete hitter ever.
He'll most likely have 3,000+ hits, over 600 HR's and hit around .315.
Even though Albert might put up those stats as well, I just like Manny better as a hitter.
If you asked "who is a better player", I'd say Albert, due to defensive, and he doesn't start problems.

He may be in the top 10 someday, but my top 2 are Pete Rose & Ted Williams in no particular order.

I disagree with you on Pete Rose but I'll let it slide.wolfmanalfredo said:
Not sure how Rich Aurilia hasn't been mentioned yet...
kind of amazes me that no one says babe ruth. i understand teddy's
ability to hit, he was amazing, but if you just look at the stats over the years
i have always thought ruth was simply the best. to dominate the way he did
in the 1920's, where no one was even close to him, speaks for itself.
ted had great years, but he had dimaggio hitting then and several others
that put up semi comparable statistics. for me, no one has ever come close to ruth.

To hit .400 today...
To set the world records in the 100-meter and 200-meter races...
To set the world record with 8 Olympic Gold Medals.
To have 300+ pound offensive linemen...on average!
To have 6'2" and 230-plus-lb. people in the NFL running a 4.3 sec. 40-yard dash.
To have a 23 year-old kid at 6'8", 260-plus lbs. with 11,000 NBA points (only 30 players in league history have ever eclipsed the 20,000 point plateau).
To have designer drugs widely available, and bounds ahead of any detection mechanisms.
To have international talent pools readily available in every sport.
To have sports stars making more money than almost anyone else in society...resulting in children whose parents breed them from day one to be pro athletes...to far advanced training and betterment sports science & technology...to 6'8" and 240-pound NHL hockey players...to the difference in time (era) methodologies for relief pitchers being so vastly constrasted as to compare the words novelty and strategy...
To see a .334 career batting average today (Ted's was .344 against those guys).
To see a career OBS of .425 in the majors when scouts get excited over a kid in A ball that comes close to .400.
To visualize Albert Pujols, who faces these modern athletes every day, facing the sorry competition (not even African-Americans played) that existed in the major leagues during the 1940's-and-50's...indeed priceless.
It's no wonder why Tony LaRussa, who played in the 60's-and-70's labeled him, King Pujols.
Press on!

It's just too hard to comparison, the game is way different. You could make an argument that if Tim Lincecum went back in time 100 years he would never give up a run. Athletes today throw harder, run faster, and on and on and on.
