I don't think you can compare any of the other three to the Babe. He played in a different era. Would he have been as successful if he competed against the best black players during his time? I am going to say he probably would, but we will never know. It is just not apples to apples. Willie vs. Hank is a great debate, though.Griffey Jr is the greatest I've ever seen; and, while you can't go wrong calling Hank or Mays the GOAT, especially Hank...imo, Ruth is the GOAT. All of the offensive numbers, plus he won almost 100 games as a pitcher, with a 2.2 career ERA.
Plus, Bonds' career is forever tainted, whether people believe he needed them or not. I absolutely adored the HR duel between Sosa and McGwire and really loved both of those guys as players. Now, they make me sick to my stomach.Right behind Jr.
As unbelievably great as Bonds' glove was, it didn't touch Griffey's.
Steriods don’t bother me at all…. I enjoyed it then…. Still enjoy those players today even though I didn’t particularly like any of them(played on teams that I didn’t like)Plus, Bonds' career is forever tainted, whether people believe he needed them or not.
