I could have sworn it was Nazis we were up against in WWII.
He fought in the Korean War as well.
And his work in WWII was focused on the Pacific front, not Europe.

Alright, I'll change my vote to Ted.

Alright, 6 votes already for Ted?

Are people just voting against the Babe because they know he'll win and they want to have fun? Or are there any legit reasons for picking Teddy over Ruth?

I didn't even bother posting my WARP3 numbers because I didn't actually think anyone would vote for Williams.

Lifetime/Peak/Seasons over 10:

Ruth: 234.2/18.0/15
Williams: 172/15.6/10

Williams was high on Greenies for most (if not all) of his career.

You would be too if you saw the unspeakable things he saw when he took 3 years out of the prime of his life and career to go fight the terrorists.

So Babe Ruth didn't give hope to millions of Americans during the Depression?

Or inspire the great 70's rock band of the same name?

And when exactly did Teddy find time to lead a nation through it's darkest hour AND inspire rock greatness?
