Yes Babe was a good player. Lived off hotdogs and whiskey too, probably would have hit 1000 dingers if he was playing today with NeuroCore and upright rows.

All PED's. The peds now didn't compare to the peds back then. Too bad the HOF can't see that.

Sold by the Red Sox to the Yankees so the Sox owner could afford to put on a production of the musical "Bye-Bye Birdie".

Now that's retarded....

Baseball was his hobby,

drinking, smoking, and hoes was what he loved most

And he was a perma-bulker. Ruth was a Getbigger if I've ever seen one. A God among men still.

Here's to you Bambino!

I like William Bendix as the young Babe. Dude was a hard 50 trying to look 20. Super-suspension of disbelief. 'Hi Fadder.'

No problem there really, since Babe Ruth ALWAYS seemed to look 50, even at 20.

Ruth played in an era where no minorites were allowed. Shit, Josh Gibson hit more homers than Ruth. If Ruth would have faced Satchel Page, Satch would have struck that fat ass out on 3 pitches

I can't argue that.

Why did he have such a sissy nickname ? Was he a homosexual ?

Josh Gibson never faced Dizzy Dean...he would have struck his ass out on three pitches

Yeah on the sandlot playing against 10 year olds.

Hulkotron · « **Reply #21 on:** July 23, 2012, 09:36:16 AM »

Josh Gibson is like the Paul Bunyan of baseball.

In Negro League games with complete records he hit 115 home runs in 510 games over 16 seasons (from his wikipedia page) which is 0.2255 homers per game. So if he played a full 162-game major league schedule assuming the quality of the competition was similar in both leagues (who knows) he'd hit about 37 homers a season. Over 16 years that's 584 homers if he plays every game (highly unlikely). Which is a lot but still about 80 short of Willy Mays and 3-5 solid years away from Ruth/Aaron/Bonds totals.

If you consider that had the leagues been combined and the talent level would almost certainly have been higher (i.e. the worst black pitchers were nowhere near as good as the best white pitchers) he'd probably hit homers at a lesser rate than I estimated there.

He'd probably have hit a lot of homers had he played in the majors but fuck off with this "900 home runs" business.

Josh Gibson played in an all black league , his numbers dont mean shit

flipper5470 · « **Reply #23 on:** July 23, 2012, 09:48:42 AM »

IIRC...Gibson is allegedly the only guy to hit one completely out of Yankee Stadium....Mantle almost did it once. Don't know about the level of competition, but if true... that's impressive.

Ruth would have hit 1000 home runs if he only faced black pitchers just like Michael Jordan would have averaged 60 points a game if he was playing just white dudes. It works both ways.
