It's useless to try to compare Ruth and Bonds or any two who played 80 years apart. Ruth didn't face black or latin pitchers. Then again, Bonds has had the advantage of a 30-team MLB compared to 16 for Ruth. But then again, nobody's going to mistake Rich Aurellia or RayRay Durham for Lou Gehrig. And just because Ruth pitched and pitched well doesn't mean much. If Bonds pitched, he probably would have been good.
