Ruth, due to longevity. I’m honored to be the lucky first to respond. Ruth won only one MVP because at the beginning of his career there was no MVP award and then, after it was created, because of a rule during his career prohibiting anyone from winning more than once. My 17-year baseball playing son says Ruth had a big advantage over Ohtani because Ruth played against common men. Ruth’s OPS+ was over 200 in eleven seasons. Ohtani zero. And Ruth was a more dominant pitcher than Ohtani is. Of course, I didn’t get to see Ruth play. If Ohtani keeps this up then maybe he’ll be the guy.
