Eddie Matthews, Eddie Murray, Jeff Bagwell

Thomas was a god at the plate....but he was positionless.

Mathews was a solid third baseman who still raked (156 OPS+ in best 9-year stretch). That's more valuable than a DH with a 168 OPS+.

:smh: @ the Ruth hate

Dude was out-homering TEAMS.

what does that say... where 1 man can hit 50hr's and out homer an entire club

the giants hit 103 hr's this year, the league low. it is impossible to do that today because there are actual athletes in the league unlike the fat squids during ruth's time

mlb players would go bak to their regular jobs in the off season, like plumbing or being car salesmen... babe ruth would go to coney island and kobayashi a couple dozen hot dogs with a 24 pack of beer..
those werent athletes, ruth's numbers would never happen in this day and age because players now are professional athletes.. they dont go home after the seasons over to work at sears changing oil.
fk all these old ass segregated players from the 20s and their shtty competition
