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.

Babe Ruth hit as many home runs in a single season as entire teams early in his career, had a career pitching record of 94-46 with a 2.28 ERA, had a career bating average of .342, 714 home runs, and 2,217. There should be no argument that he was the greatest baseball player of all time.

Babe Ruth is a good baseball player because of the impact he left on everyone around him, and even to this day people still admire and look up to him. Babe Ruth's home run record still stands today as one of the highest home run hitters in baseball. He started out pitching, but pitchers rarely bat well so they moved him to the outfield so that his talents could be used with his bat and his glove.

You decide. Ruth started his career as a pitcher. He pitched in 163 games, 147 as a starter and had 107 complete games. He had a career record of 93 wins and 44 losses, with an ERA of 2.28. He also recorded 17 shutouts, with 488 strike outs and 441 walks in 1,221 innings pitched. I'd say he was a pretty good pitcher, wouldn't you?

I think Babe Ruth and Jackie Robinson are equal. Jackie Robinson broke lots of records when he played. I just say they are equal.
