Who Is The Best Baseball Player Of All-time? What Team Did He Play For?
It's not even close - Babe Ruth by a mile.
How can anyone in their right mind even think that Clemente should be mentioned in the same breath as Ruth? Ruth destroys him not only in all the counting stats, but even in the critical ones like OBP (.474 to .359) and slugging (.690 to .475). Clemente was a good hitter, but he never walked and didn't have great power.
Seriously, how anyone can pick anyone besides Ruth (or Bonds, if you can get by the steroids issue) is crazy. And did someone actually say Cal Ripken, because he was classy? The guy was an arrogant SOB who got crazy mad when his manager dared to make him sit out an inning - yeah, that's class.
