Mays was not a pitcher, just as Ruth was not an outfielder,so you can't compare their positioned played.

And think about this? did Ruth play against the very best of his time. No! I'm sure there were plenty of great african-american athletes who were excellent baseball players whe were as good as Ruth but were not allowed to play.

And again,stay with me here, as an overall athlete and overall baseball player Mays was 10 times better tan Ruth. Ruth could barely run. Mays had it all, barring his ability or given chance to pitch.

Again Ruth was a slugger and a decent pitcher end of story.

Is this the place where I put an LOL in?
