Which historians consider Gehrig to have been better than Ruth?
Question:In a "best player" thread, one respondent claimed that Gehrig "is often considered better than Ruth by a lot of historians" -- well, I'd like to know which historians they are. Does anyone have published citations for claims that Gehrig was a better player than Ruth? Please provide references (or laff derisively at this mildly amusing notion).

If there was a Historian that stupid I am sure anything that they wrote regarding this issue has been burned and forgotten. There is no one better than Ruth ever! He was hitting 50+ home runs when the entire rosters of the other teams in baseball couldnt hit that many combined. Plus he was a 20 game winner in Boston.

Isn't it weird that Lou Gehrig died of Lou Gehrig's disease? What are the odds of that? Dude should have bought more lottery tickets in his life.dumb ones...
Who will be the yankees 5th starter?
I said it. And I will tell why I said it.Babe Ruth 22 years career numbers:
Hits - 2,873
Hr's - 714
Rbi's - 2,213
BA - .342
Lou Gehrig 17 year career first 2 years 23 games and 8 in last year due to his disease so basically 14 years.
Hits - 2,721
Hr's - 493
Rbi's - 1,995
BA - .340
You add 6 to 8 more years to Lou's career and he demolishes the Babe's numbers period.
Maybe this will help you as far as historians go!
Try the voters for the MLB All-Century team.

So I guess these 1,207,992 votes Lou has are from idiots?
Correct me if I'm wrong but I do believe LOU GEHRIG has the most votes of any player and that includes the great BABE RUTH! In fact Lou has more votes than anybody.

How can MLB justify the free spending mentality? (Clemens...)?
Chipmaker. I do believe you just got served. That's what happens when you f**k with a top contributor in a topic that you're not.Where can you watch live MLB baseball games online for free?
Chip? Biff? or whatever your name is you have obviously bitten off more than you can chew.There have been plenty of baseball historians that mentioned Gehrig was a better player.
Buth was fun to watch and was great with children and the public loved him for that. Ruth the player was out of control and often thought he could get away with anything, but didn't.
My advise to you is to steer clear of Romulus. He will embarrass you bad just as he did here. At least he gave you a star.
