Is there a uniform stat calculation for:

Hitting - Runs produced per nine inning game

Pitching - Runs allowed per nine inning game

These would get at the very root of the true object of winning baseball - the ultimate goal.

Without research, I would guess Cobb, Ruth, Williams & Musial rank at the top. Pitchers, probably Mathewson, Johnson, Lefty Grove, Koufax, and for all you non-believers, Nolan Ryan.
