Ruth was a great hitter, but I'm not really sure you can say that he was the best of all time. Aside from not playing against African Americans, he didn't play against all of the best white players either since a good portion of them were content playing in the PCL or other minor leagues. I'm skeptical of the whole pre-integration and pre-Branch Rickey era.
