is true, Babe Ruth is the best baseball player of all time?

Answer 1

that belongs to pete rose

Answer 2

Best of all time, is a pretty bold claim.  I'd go with one of the best, and one of the most versatile.  He's the only player in history, so far as I know, who has both an ERA title and a Batting title.  As a power hitter he has a lifetime .342 batting average (10th all time), and came close to hitting .400 one season.  

Answer 3

He won World Series games as a pitcher before he became the Yankees' HR legend. No one else in the HOF has that sort of resume, so, yes, I think he would be considered the best all-round player the game has ever seen.

Answer 4

For many people that it is true.

Answer 5

Yeah, that's why his number should have been retired by every team years ago. The Babe was bigger than the game itself.

Answer 6

Is true.                 

Answer 7

When you consider that he was on a trajectory to Cooperstown as a pitcher until his hitting made him an everyday player, I would say that, combined with everything else he did, puts him ahead of the competition.
