Look, Babe Ruth would not have been on a sandlot baseball kid’s top of the list that early. For the era we’re talking Honus Wagner, Nap Lajoie, Ty Cobb, Home Run Baker, Shoeless Joe Jackson, Tris Speaker. If a pitcher (what Babe was at this time) then Christy Mathewson or (especially for a midwestern kid) Mordecai Brown or (still) Cy Young or Walter Johnson.
