Babe Ruth Batting Deadball Era
Babe Ruth Batting Deadball Era
Just wondering why Babe Ruth isnt represented as a hitter in the deadball era....it is a question I have had for years but never asked.
Re: Babe Ruth Batting Deadball Era
He'd be way too overpowered tbh lol
Edit: I just realized I am woefully mistaken. His 1919 season would be his last eligible season in deadball leagues so he wouldn't be nearly as OP as I was thinking. He'd be more in line with a few other hitters with HR totals in the 20s during that era. Thus, I retract my above statement lol

Re: Re: Babe Ruth Batting Deadball Era
Right 1919 is his only decent offensive Deadball season so that’s why he’s a pitcher. It’s probably worth giving him the Ohtani treatment and splitting his hitting and pitching. The use cases are more rare for him but deadball and fav teams would be the most likely.

Kind of like McGwire in 2000? Personally he marked transformation away from the Deadball era so I think he should be there.
Re: Babe Ruth Batting Deadball Era
Yes bubbles, he did have a lot of HRs by deadball era standards, but after thinking about my original stance more, I firmly believe theres actually already a current deadball era player who Ruth's compiled stats would end up being extremely similar to (and who already dominates those leagues anyway)
That player is Bill Joyce
