I don't see how anyone could not answer Babe Ruth. It doesn't matter how the sports writers voted. There has only been one player in the history of the game to single handedly outhit an entire league. That player is Babe Ruth.
As talented and great as Cobb was, he didn't change the game. He only did things better than the players around him. But Ruth did change the game, and every player after him has been trying to live up to what he did. Last edited by packs; 04-19-2013 at 04:25 PM.
