For all that HITTING and RUNNING, how come Cobb is no where near Ruth in producing that most important STAT....RUNS ?
For example, let's compare their best year....check-out their RUNs + RBIs.
Ruth's dominance in this department is true for any year you choose.

You guys can have Cobb on your team....I'll take Ruth on my team....and, my team will beat your team every time.

...............Ruth (1921)........Cobb (1911)

AB's............540..................591
Hits............204..................248
BB's............144....................44
HR's..............59.....................8 (deadball era)
Runs...........177..................147
RBIs............171..................144
BAvg......... .378................ .420
SlAvg........ .846................ .621
Stol Bases.....17....................83
