But as great as A-Rod is in this sim, the greatest batter in the history of baseball is not Babe Ruth, not Ted Williams, not Barry Bonds ... but Lou Gehrig. Check him out:
Lou is tops in batting average, on-base and slugging, but also in wRC+ and RC/27; third in base hits, runs scored and RBI, as well as WAR; and ninth in home runs. You'd think being able to play until 1945 would have been the key, but ne was terrible after 1939, so it really didn't matter all that much, and it actually hurt his rate stats. Most amazingly, he not only hit over .400 four times, but he landed on .399 twice more.
