He was a damn good pitcher. That shouldn't count into our thinking?

That's his style. Discount the stats that don't help your argument. I would speculate/suggest that if Babe had been hitting full time all his years instead of pitching, we wouldn't have this argument because of the possible increase in stats. But that's just conjecture. What were left with is that he did pitch and those stats can't be ignored.
