However, given the steroids question, I think that it's clearly Ruth. I think that Ted Williams is right up there as well, as is Cobb.
An article I read presented these numbers as being what Barry might have had if he had not taken steroids:

barry without 'roids:
Hits = 2992
HRs = 680
RBI = 1979
games = 2936

BARRY with 'roids:
Hits = 2742
HRs = 708
RBI = 1853
games = 2742

Good point. The Hall of Fame might need to erect a separate "Steroid Wing."
