In your opinion Vince Coleman is more valuable than Howard.

LAWL Ruth was probably 3 times the athelete that Cobb was.
The FACT is that Ruth hit more homeruns than entire teams. You countered with "home runs were not a big deal" what the hell kind of logic is that? If they were not a "BIG DEAL" they why did Ruth save the game?

Bro, Ruth was atleast 5 times the size of Cobb. He was a better hitter, a better pitcher, and a hell of a football player. Why do you worship a midget bigot hillbilly anyway?Quote:
