That adjusted ranking looks good to me...at least the top two. The Babe was the best and will always be "The Sultan Of Swat"....IMHO ;)

I think the reason I would give a slight nod to The Babe over Aaron is because back in Ruth's day the parks were larger compared to the ones that Aaron played in and even larger compared to todays stadiums. The ball parks just keep getting smaller and smaller.
