Mark McQuire, Sammy Sosa, and Barry Bonds may have more homeruns than Babe Ruth. But Sosa had that cork in his bat, McQuire and Bonds used performance-enhancing substances, while Ruth's diet consisted of beer and ring dings (well, OK, maybe not ring dings).

So I say Ruth was still the best homerun hitter of all-time (and he was a good pitcher as well).

notice how no one else from his era is even on the power side of MLB stats? most of them had high batting averages and not much in the power department?
 
until Babe Ruth nobody hit many home runs

The guy was a beast and could have also been one of the all time great pitchers

Could you imagine with todays training how talented that guy would be if he stayed on the straight and narrow.

Never hear much about his fielding or running but they must not have been too awful or he would have been a first baseman starting out.

He is a true Icon

ruth did great and completely took advantage of his strengths...i would put ty cobb on the same level definately as ruth. his ability to put the ball in the right place and his running ability were just hand in hand flawless

He might be the best pure hitter of all time. He could have hit a lot more home runs but he liked moving the ball around. He would be as epic as Ruth or more if he had not been such a miserable prick to everybody
