Hornsby or Mays leading off? Mays a better baserunner?

I tried to split up the three lefties Ruth, Williams, and Gehrig.

Williams lost his age 24, 25, 26 seasons to WWII and 33 and 34 to Korea. 4.5 seasons of his prime. He might have finished 2nd in WAR per PA.
Yes but it wouldn't hurt to lead with some speed.

If for no other reason than to reduce double play chances. I agree that mixing righty lefty is probably best, I was trying to mix power and average more.
