I always rank Ruth 1 and Mays 2 because Ruth was a Top 5 hitter and probably a Top 50 pitcher. But I have no problem ranking Mays 1. He was scandal-free. He missed almost two entire seasons for the Korean War. He's 3rd all-time in WAR for batters. Yeah, that works.
15 more WAR & he'd still be ~10 behind the Babe, though.
