I’m going to get some heat for this: Gibson was a victim of actual discrimination, not the junk we are seeing today. Cobb was amazing. Both crushed it. So who was actually better? We will never know.

Gibson was the 2nd best player ever, but ruth is the 1st.

We can guess but we'll never know.

You aren't wrong, but we all know why this is being done and who is behind it.

Cobb’s shoes gave him an edge.

I frequently hear that some white players didn’t have to play against black players, a true statement. I’ve never heard that some black players didn’t have to play against white players, which is also a true statement. Cobb and Gibson may have both benefited from playing against diluted talent.
