  George Herman Ruth
  
  Yep, Babe Ruth was overrated. First, if not for his longevity, he would have only played for a few years. Also, he chose to use a 52-oz. bat, costing him untold dingers. That poor judgment is reason enough to land him on this list. And if you remove all of the Babe's extra-base hits, his lifetime slugging pct sucks. But because of all the hype, pitchers sometimes pitched around him, so there's not much meaning to his .473 lifetime OBP with all the cheap passes. Combining the above two points also reveals that his lifetime 1.164 OPS should be tossed as well. Finally, as a pitcher, he surrendered almost as many walks as strikeouts, canceling out any value to his 94 victories,.671 winning pct and his rather pedestrian 2.28 lifetime ERA. OK, with all the World Series victories maybe on some level he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame, but to call him the Sultan of Swat? More like the Sultan of Squat. Tee-hee! Gosh, sometimes I just crack myself up.
  
  Next up, Roberto Clemente. Boy, was he lucky he died tragically helping others. Otherwise, no one would even notice a guy with a deceptive 3,000 base hits. Yes, that sounds good, but his lifetime OPS was a full 7 points lower (.834 vs. .841) than that of Yaz, whom we've already relegated to the overrated list, so why even review the stats. Nevertheless, it speaks volumes that blah, blah, blah, blah, blah...
