And it seemed that Ruth was the only one coming out of the deadball era when he became a full time outfielder being that he was hitting more HR's than teams and breaking rbi, runs scored, OBP, SLG records

Sorry, if you were witness to The Babe, I'll bow to your knowledge.

Yeah, that's why it's so cheap. Bulk up and power your way through. Cobb had power but prefered to play with his head. He also hit 5 homeruns in two days when he decided to actually go for homeruns and that cannot be disputed. Perhaps homeruns are the ultimate play but too me they will always be cheap. A homerun in one park, a fly ball in another.

I will definately admit his 1921 season was one for the ages. I do wonder if his skill as a Red Sox player bashing hr's was somewhat responsible for a change in baseballs that took the game out of the deadball era into a lively ball era which it became.
