Wesley, I agree... Wagner first. Based on what those guys said. But this article has me thinking of going back to Cobb.


By 1942 the 'voters' for TSN had seen all of Ruth, his pitching and home runs. They saw him out homer most of baseball, and change the way the game is played. They voted Cobb 1st. With Wagner strongly second over Ruth.



And Rob D, I'll take that chance to say again you'd be wrong if you go with Ruth. I'd say that along with:

Eddie Collins
Jack Coombs
Walter Johnson
Connie Mack
Al Simmons
George Sisler
Tris Speaker

That is pretty solid company to be agreeing with... guys from that American League where the Bimbo, sorry, Bambino played.
