Babe Ruth most over hype player ever - ya really think he can pitch and rake in today’s era ?

Babe Ruth dominated his time like no one else.

Let's just leave it at that.

If I saw this thread I wouldn't have started one today.. Sorry Giant...

never been an athlete that was more head and shoulders ABOVE his peers in his era.

yeah he'd suck now

but Bryce Harper and Kris Bryant prob would suck back in 1914 too if they grew up only pooping in outhouses ect

Lmao. Seriously guy? He dominated his era. It retarded to try and play the comparison game to other eras as they all vastly different. to answer your question of course he would have raked in this era, why wouldn't he? Wasn't the mound higher up when he played?

[The Giant]

If I saw this thread I wouldn't have started one today.. Sorry Giant...

No worries. I had forgotten all about this one until it got resurrected from the dead today.

[2daBank]

Babe Ruth never had to face African Americans/Asians or Latinos -

The mound was also higher up which was big advantage to pitchers. The parks weren't all bandboxes. You sound like a total dipshit.

I think dude should get a week ban for posting that gibberish.

Gotta factor in the diet back then and training.. Ruth got the juice and everything today that these current athletes get who knows? Back in the day it was basically a different game...

Can't make a comparison, different era's complete..

Like saying would George Mican and Jerry West dominate their positions today.. ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!

Didn't even think of that, imagine that dude if not on juice just with nutrition, supplements, proper training! Smashing these baseballs wound tighter than a virgins pussy!! I think this kidgroove character failing to realize if you can hit a ball in one era you can hit a ball in any era!!

[ikid2groove415]

Not being a homer but Barry bonds was the most LETHAL offensive player ever !!

[The Giant]

He couldn't pitch. Hell, he couldn't even throw out Sid Bream out from left field.

But you're right, he was the best offensive player most of us have ever seen.

[2daBank]

I do agree with that. But what you think babe Ruth would have looked like on all the juice bonds had?

[Bluehorseshoe]

Anyone know if he can field? I know they don't want to burn him out.

[catsanddogs]

Japanese Babe Ruth strikes again!

[Chi_archie]

I do agree with that. But what you think babe Ruth would have looked like on all the juice bonds had?

against the guys back then that threw like 70-80 mph's on average once a day with a few outliars? in a sport that was looked down upon in most of society?

guys that threw every 4 days and threw complete games even if the lost 12-1

guys from the only 7 other teams that Ruth faced in the entire American League?

in Ruth's first year with the Yanks there were exactly 50 non yankeee pitchers with more than 50 innings pitched that Ruth would have faced.



Or against today's breed with all their advantages and infinitely bigger, trained, specialized, and incentivized talent pool?

[DOM-Ganador]

This thread went sideways fast.
I am not a huge bases guy, but a story like this, with him hitting 3 HRs already, is exactly what MLB needs.

Stands are ridiculously empty. Owners must have their hands tied. I would be selling day of game tickets at a discount. I guess maybe they worry nobody will pay full price?

Re. the Mikan/West comparison: Mikan would be useless in todays game. West could play in any era against any comp and be highly effective. If it wasn`t for Russell/Red, he would have had 6+ titles. He is the logo for Christs sake.

[Chi_archie]

I don't think the product on the field is the issue for ticket sales

[cincinnatikid513]

this guy had a hot start as well to his major league career but then teams started to figure him out so far this year puig not so hot

[Clutchut12]

He will end up with 6 home runs on the year

[DOM-Ganador]

Yeah Chi, I agree. Taking the family to the ballpark used to be affordable to the average income dude.
When we were kids, we used to skip school, take a bus to a train, a train to Fenway, and pay $4 for a bleacher seat.

HDTV. Cable. Etc. Games are just better from the comfort of our own homes.
Then again, idiots paying 6K to walk around Augusta for 4 days.

Pitchers will figure out some of his tendencies and he will level off. What I do like about his swing is how fluid it is and how fast his hands are. His hand speed reminds me of Tony Gwynn. Not saying he will become the second coming of Tony Gwynn but watch how deep Ohtani lets the ball get before firing those hands.

[gauchojake]

He looks like the real deal to me.

[Chi_archie]

[DOM-Ganador]

Dealing

[jjgold]

New man in Angel land

Trout a nobody now with this guy around

[Kermit]

This kid looks legit.

[jimminn]

I would have him in then line up every day . Everybody makes a big deal about a players needing rest . From what ? Most of the players especially outfielders hardly move at all for a 3 hour game. Construction workers work 8 hours every day and dont get days off. What a bunch of pussies OH we work so hard .

[funnyb25]

[ikid2groove415]

The guy hits 100 mph like it’s nothing

He looks like a bigger stronger Ichiro

[The Giant]

I was at the game today.

Probably the most excited I've ever been for a regular-season game.

The kid is filthy.

[gauchojake]

Good year to be an Angels fan

[eidolon]

His inside-out swing and his eyes remind me of Ichiro.

have to think Trout is pleased to have a team finally forming around him

Ohtani, also Cozart....Angels now looking like they have a team
