Greatest Right Fielder of all Time

Ruth is the greatest player of all time, without a doubt. He is clearly the best hitter, even though his average is not as great as Cobb's. His power is undeniable. Also, he was a dominating left-handed pitcher who pitched 29 2/3 consecutive scoreless innings in the World Series for the BoSox in 1916 and 1918. Best RF and best player ever, it's too bad he had to play for the fucking Yankees!
 
I threw a vote for Clemente so he would not get shutout...

I voted for Clemente too b4 I saw Ruth's name!! Altho his off. #'s don't stack up w/some of the other's, I doubt anyone played RF better than he. He was the 1st OF I ever saw pivot 360 to make a perfect throw on a line. If there has been a better Hispanic player since, haven't seen him.
 
I have a form of Clemente in every password I have on the web. Not sure why since I never saw him play but since I was a kid he fasinated me and with his tragic death trying to help people. Truly amazing player.
 
Ruth leads 12-5 over Aaron. Kaline with 3 and Clemente with 1

Voting will close 2night...
 
Aaron started his career in center field and even played 2nd base for 43 games, 7 at 3rd and 210 at first,218 at DH.
Babe had a clause in his contract that he did not have to play in the sun field, therefor he played in left at times. Of course he started as a Pitcher.
There for niether should be considered to be full time Rightfielders.
A crazy stat that you could make a dime on is what position other than first base (135games) on the infield did Kaline ever play/ the answer is 2 games at 3rd!
