According to Ted, the Babe struck out too much and Cobb was a slap hitter. Williams has some nice things to say about Hornsby's swing, though. He also says that the old-timers say that Joe Jackson had an amazing swing and that they tried to copy it, but Ted doesn't draw any comparisons or contrasts between his approach and Jackson's. As far as I can tell, it's close but I'd lean to the Babe.
