Peter Spaeth"Shoeless Joe was a great ballplayer, but let's not get carried away. In 1920 Joe had 12 home runs which was the most he ever hit. In 1920 Babe Ruth had 54 home runs. It's unlikely that Joe would have ever gotten into a home run race with the Babe."
Yeah let's not get carried away with the .358 batting average, or for that matter with Cobb's .367, I would put them squarely behind Bobby Bonds and Griffey Sr. in my hall of fame.
