Default Cobb v. Ruth -- relative popularity in their day

Posted By: identify7

No one can win a debate if they choose to argue against the supremacy of Ruth's popularity, I think. However his popularity is more akin to that of the party guy with a lampshade on his head than that borne out of respect. Wagner enjoys a stature among the best to have ever played the game, eventhough his stats do not appear to bear this status out. Why do you suppose this is?

And that is it. From this point, Ruth wins every round. Go ahead. Now prove me wrong.
