Popular yes, but many , well several surpassed Ruth in certain statistical particulars. For example the Sultan of Swat never hit.,400. the highest Ruthian average was .393 in l923 (got combination as a memory jogger) but this is not .400 in l924, Rogers,not Roger, Hornsby batted-full season- .424 this was the highest seasonal batting average in modern-day Baseball. several players hit .400 among them Hornsby, Ty Cobb, and (sizzling) George Sisler .From a technical performance angle Cobb"s lifetime batting average of .367 (career) has never been approached. draw your own conclusions.
