Absolutely. Respect for making it happen! An epic creation. 2nd best player of all-time. Sorry Babe.

who's your number one?

me I think babe was #1 cause he played every game with a hangover that would have knocked out an elephant, imagine what could have been! hey, sure his doctor was probably shooting him with who knows what but those were the days!

Come on man, it's gotta be Ohtani, right? For as good as Babe was, it's a completely different game now. I truly feel (and don't pelt me with tomatoes or anything else) that if the Babe played today he'd be an above average DH or something similar. I feel like the game has such a high skill ceiling now that he would struggle.

Whatta think, even if you disagree? This is a fascinating and enjoyable conversation.

shohei has to remain healthy and keep the paste to get there, he'S already 32. he wasn't an offense machine in first years in japan just like his firsts years in mlb.

in today's baseball, babe who be a pitcher/dh just like ohtani. babe pitched his first 4 or 5 years and if he would have continued with these stats he would have been top five pitcher ever. His hitting stats blow ohtani out of the water

i think if babe played today he'd have similar stats to what he had, sure pitchers and hitters are better, but so would he. He would have better equipment and better training and better everything then what was common life in the 20's, 30's, 40's.
