I would definitely agree with you that we overvalue Ruth... But he is still the best player who ever lived... The by how much, I have no clue...
Well it depends how you look at it. Most think Teddy is the 2nd best pure hitter combined with power.
Ruth played 200 more games than Teddy.
His SLG was .056 higher
His OPS was .048 higher
Just looking at those numbers most would be like ohh it's basically the same number but that is a HUGE difference.
But then you look at Teddy's numbers compared to say Lou Gehrig...
Teddy's SLG was .002 higher than Lou's
his OPS was actually much higher .036.
