You can argue forever over the best. Then you have to talk about who thier competition was, whether you think players nowadays are better overall, and also the juiced ball theory.
I think Ruth is the best, but if Bonds has a couple more years like his previous Ruth will have to step aside.
And here's ARod's career avg.
AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO SB CS AVG OBP SLG OPS
639 129 198 39 2 41 124 66 127 26 7 .310 . 377 .570 .947
His OBS is lower then most, but his HR's and RBI's are right up there
