MVSNYCcobb v. ruth- popularity?
no question here...
cobb was hated by most men he played with and fans alike...yes, he was argueably the greatest player ever, BUT, if we are having a popularity contest here, "babe" ruth wins hands down! not only was he the most popular player of his day, but the most popular player to ever put on a pair of spikes...no other player lived life like the babe, and the fans adored him, no matter what he did.
