Who's the greatest hitter ever in baseball?
Question:I say Ted Williams.
Answers:
- What NL East team said hired 30-year-old rookie Chuck Smith?
This is one of those truely great questions. Their are arguments for both players. Ted Williams is considered one fo the greatest natural hitters of all time, and who knows what his lifetime stats would have been had he not spend the 3 years in the peek of his career in the military. If you look across the board, their averages are pretty near identical with the exception of home runs, which Ruth has alot more, and in strike outs, in which Ruth struck out near twice as often as Williams did. One can only expect that if Williams had played his 3 years he missed, his lifetime average would have probably been a few points higher, he would have likely hit in the 625-650 home run range and he would have easily had over 3000 hits.higher lifetime average, higher hit average, about half the strike outs, and a higher lifetime OBP is better than having more home runs.
Babe Ruth may have been able to hit more home runs, but if you needed a man to get on base and get the hit, Williams would have been the choice, so I believe that Williams was the better hitter.

Ted WilliamsRate my fantasy baseball team?
It's close between Babe Ruth and Ted Williams but I would have to go with the Babe. Babe used to outhomer entire teams and his OPS (on base average plus slugging percentage) was higher at 1.164 to 1.116. It's basically flip a coin and you would go wrong with either one.I would to have to agree.Ted Williams.
I like Joe Dimaggio (Did i spell it right?)
I don't know about ever. However, in my time(I am 26), Tony Gwynn is the most amazing hitter I have seen. The guy hit over 300 almost every year of his career and was a phenomenal contact hitter. Unfortunately, his feats as a ballplayer are often overshadowed by the home runs of people like Bonds, Sosa, etcetera.
What is the nationality of Jacinto Damion Easley?
This is actually pretty easy, Ted Wiliams in a long shot. 521 homeruns, .344 career avg, 2 triple crowns. Can you say .406? All this and he lost a few of his best years serving our country in WWII and Korea. You can make a case for the Babe as the best all around player because you can throw in his insanly good pitching stats to go with his hitting, but for pure hitting alone, the Splendid Splinter is #1.Who is the most exciting player in baseball this year?
It's Ruth over Williams by a whisker, but if Ted hadn't lost the better part of five seasons to military service, it could go the other way, and by a wider margin. Alas, we'll never know.I am begging you for a favor...?
You'd have to ask "best at what aspect of hitting."Power?
Contact?
Fewest strikeouts?
Highest on base percentage?
Highest slugging percentage?
Leadoff man, second place hitter, third man up, cleanup hitter?
For one season or over a career?
Does he have to have speed on the bases,etc.
An
d did he play in an honest ballpark" Or one not suited to his abilities? One suited to it peculiarly?
Overall, I'd vote for Ted Williams and Stan Musial in their leagues; they did amazingly well playing in ballparks very bad for their talents. If healthy in an average sized ballpark, they'd easily have hit over 800 home runs.
Who is the fastest baseball pitcher alive?
I would have to agree with you 100 per cent. I got to meet him once was I was 9 in 1958 (showing my age) thru a mutual friend of my Dad. He never autographed a lot from what I understand but I still too this day have an autographed baseball and Baseball Card signed by him which are my most treasured possessions. I remember how nice he was.Funny how you remember things so clearly from almost 50 years ago!
I just think of the records he would of set had he had not interrupted his career when WW2 and Korea broke out. I believe he would have eclipsed Babe Ruth's HR record, easily gotten to 3000 hits and would have surpassed the .406 average he set in 1941. I think he may of been the best all around player to ever play the game, but it was his plate presence that stood out.
Who has the Best/Worst fan base in baseball?
I would say Ruth, Williams and Bonds. Each play or played in an era that was vastly different than the others. Trying to detirmine which one of the three was the best is like splitting hairs because your comparing stats over time frames that dont relate well to each because of how the game has changed and evolvedSammy sosa, comeback player of the year?
Ted Williams is correct, followed by Ruth, Gherig, Cobb, and Bonds...yes Bonds, then Rose.barry bonds is the best hitter.his stats prove it.most feared hitter on the planet after Pujols right now.
What is the average amount of baseballs used in a game?
Ted Williams. He was the best pure hitter ever in baseball.I want to wear a black armband when Bonds breaks the record. Any idea where I could find one?
Currently, I would have to lean towards Ichiro Suzuki. In 6 straight seasons he has at least 200 hits. That is his entire MLB career thus far not counting this season. Who else has done that? Ted Williams never even reached 200 hits in one season. Ichiro has done it every year since he came to the MLB. Ted Williams was a great ball player, don't get me wrong, but not the best hitter.What happand in todays yankees game?
Ty Cobb .367 average. Enough said!Good call. It's Teddy Ballgame. Where do you think John Wayne came up with that persona. The splinter was the best and he knew it. And with nearly five full seasons lost to the service as a fighter pilot for crying out loud. World class angler too. Incredible. Wheres the big budget Hollywood life story?
Who should start has catcher in the all-star game in both leagues?
