You have been tortured by jvett77.

lol. Pulling these players out of your memory bank can take some time. Omar tries to get it right away. He needs to double his dosage.

Babe Ruth or Ty Cobb

 

[Omar 382]

• 5 time All-Star
• AL batting champ in 1961
• His 377 career home runs were fourth among left handers when he retired, after Ruth, Williams, and Gehrig
• Beloved by his fans and the media
• Never wore a batting helmet during his career
• Overshadowed by his own teammate
• Had one of the best single-seasons a player has ever put up: in 1961 he hit .361/.487/.662 with a .488 wOBA, a 194 wRC+ and a 10.2 WAR
