blue edwards said:yeah, he wants to hang on the beat ruth because babe ruth was a joke. he never faced black pitchers so his records mean nothing. he was also fat.
oldmanTED said:Ruth was also a drunk and a womanizer but what else is new. Pretty sure there are a lot of stories behind many of the well known sports figures and even the lesser known figures. Kobe comes immediately to mind.

lander said:Blue,
My point is not with you -- I get that you're a decent guy, but I really don't think it's coincidence that Ba Bonds gets more hate posts about juice that Big Mac, Sosa, Bagwell, Palmerio & Giambi combined.
blue edwards said:probably me...since i'm wasting time in this thread. i just get so pissed at this guy who makes millions of dollars playing a kids game and is a big ass when he should be thanking his lucky stars he has the ability to play at the highest level. then, he cheats...he wasn't happy hitting 35 homeruns a year...he wanted to hit 70. so, he did whatever was necessary and he got there. he signed a huge contract and gets paid more in two months than i will make in a lifetime. then he gets caught cheating and blames the media.
ok, i am done
