The best pure hitter ever?

It is a matter of opinion, of course, but my vote for the best pure hitter of all time goes to Ted Williams. Not the best player - that would be Babe Ruth with his Hall of Fame quality pitching - put purely as a hitter.

Want proof? Here is just one stat. Since Williams retired in 1960, only four players have had single-season on base percentages as Williams had for his entire career (.482).
