Joe—I think the comparison is a lot closer than you think. Foxx had 133 more ABs for his career than Gehrig but hit 41 more HRs. He won three MVPs vs Gehrig’s two, he was a better fielder. Gehrig had a slightly higher batting average and more RBI’s, but he played for a lot better team. I agree Gehrig was better but it was pretty close. If Foxx was a Yankee and Gehrig was an Athletic the comparison would probably flip in Fox’s favor.
I was reading a list that was put together in 1994 of the greatest hitters of all time. Here it is: 10. Willie Mays 9. Hank Aaron 8. Joe Jackson 7. Stan Musial 6. Ty Cobb 5. Joe DiMaggio 4. Rogers Hornsby 3. Jimmie Foxx 2. Lou Gehrig 1. Babe Ruth Oh, there is a reason Williams is not on the list—he put it together.
