Unquestionably the greatest all-around ballplayer to ever play the game. His 660 career homer total could've been at least another 150 dingers higher but for two years in the service and the Candlestick winds (before they completely closed the stadium). Happy Birthday Willie!!
I'm a huge fan of Babe Ruth and everything that he accomplished. But...
to say he's the most complete player?! Come on. Willie Mays was the best ALL AROUND player to ever play the game. The Babe couldn't touch Willie in terms of baserunning and defense. When you look up 5-tool player in the dictionary and it's the face of Willie Mays that you should see. Speed, power, average, arm, defense...Willie did it all as well or better than anyone.
Wow, TO SAY RUTH WAS THE MOST COMPLETE PLAYER IS OUTRAGEOUS!, ESPECIALLY DO TO THE FACT THE NOBODY,NOBODY HAS EQUALLED MAYS IN POWER, FIELDING, HITTING, AND RUNNING....EVER!!!!!!
Well Babe may have not gotten 3,000 hits, but he hit 54 more homeruns than him. His career batting average is .40 points higher than Mays, and also had more RBI's, better .ops and slugging percentage than willie, so not getting 3000 hits doesn't matter. Mays was a better fielder than Ruth but not a better player.
Actually no I did not. That was actually the last sentence of my response, where I CLEARLY say,"Mays was a better fielder than Ruth but not a better player."
No I did not, read you fucking retard. I put." MAYS WAS A BETTER FIELDER BUT NOT A BETTER PLAYER."
Here let me say it again, WILLIE MAYS WAS A BETTER FIELDER BUT NOT A BETTER PLAYER. One more time, WILLIE MAYS WAS A BETTER FIELDER BUT NOT A BETTER PLAYER. One more time you ask? WILLIE MAYS WAS A BETTER FIELDER NOT A BETTER PLAYER. There you go you dumbfuck for the third time.
@ChevyManSS350 Yeah but u forgot to mention ruth did not play with/against any black people and u forgot to mention that ruth was a terrible fielder. Just admit you're wrong and i'll stop. ;D
What in the fuck does ruth not playing with black people have to do with anything? I think you are a fucking retard. I think you keep forgetting to read in the last two comments where I put them in caps letters where I say Mays was a better fielder than Ruth. So I think you just keep forgetting to read that, I am not going to say it one more time, I have said it numerous amounts of times about Ruth's defense was not as nearly as good as Mays. Your a fucking idot. I win
@ChevyManSS350 #1 ruth never played against black people. #2 u still have yet to say that ruth was a terrible fielder, i mean it was embarrassing. #3 im sorry for pooping on you so bad. #4 what is your social security number? ; D #5 i think im in love with you. #6 u just got griefed.
Even Babe Ruth would have told you that he had a huge advantage having a 296 right field fence and not playing against half of the best ballplayers in America.
He would also have told you that Mays was the best ever, and that you should take a pill before you explode.
@wilzusuki Dont forget, it was back when they had shorter seasons and such too. If they had the same game structure they did now, he probably would have passed that easily.
I would have to say that babe Ruth was the most complete player, because he was both a great hitter and a great pitcher. Almost nobody has duplicated that.
@RaananVolesPianist You really DO have a point. After all, Ruth could've made the Baseball Hall of Fame even if he didn't agree to switch from pitching to being a full-time outfielder. (And besides, the Babe was the biggest reason millions of Americans in the 1920s and 1930s started following baseball to begin with!) Only reason I had Ruth in second place was that he wasn't much of a basestealer (123 in 2,503 games; Mays had 338 in 2,992 games).
On the short list for Greatest Player Ever, and this is probably the greatest song any ballplayer ever had. It's 1954, and you can hear the Big Band Era turn into the Rock and Roll Era right before your very ears.
imagine if he didnt have all the things that shortened his career Barry Bonds might to have been chasing his own godfather for the all-time homerun record
For you Willie Mays fans, the first authorized biography of the say hey kid is coming into the stores February 9, 2010. I go back to his rookie year, and I can't wait. Willie the greatest off all-time!
What I can't understand is how is Mickey Mantle card is worth more that Willie's! He had a better career than him! hrs, b.a s.b. r.b.i. gold glove!!! famous catch!
Like If you think Baseball is the best sport ever made <3
