Quote:
In a 22-year career, Ruth batted .342 with 714 homers. He is the all-time leader in slugging percentage at .690 and OPS at 1.164.

And Ruth likely could strike out Ottavino every time. The left-hander started his career as a pitcher with the Boston Red Sox, winning 20 games twice and posting a career 2.28 ERA. He won two games in the 1918 World Series when the Red Sox beat the Chicago Cubs in six games.

I saw this earlier. Baseball players tend to be morons so this isn't surprising.

Ottavino is an idiot. Ruth would go 3 for 4 against him and strike his dopey ass out four times.

He's technically right but it's also technically right that I know far more about science than Issac Newton.

If we let Babe Ruth get up to speed he wouldn't look like that either.

It's not just baseball players. MANY athletes feel the same way.

:lol: Don't get butthurt because someone is mocking your precious in another thread.

I'll grant you one thing though, the idea that Ottavino would dominate Ruth is far more ridiculous than believing the moon landing never happened.

No. Babe Ruth when he was in his 20s (not his late 30s like most of the photos and newsreels that are available) would kick the living shit out of Adam Ottavino just the way he was.

It wouldn't change in his 30's either

Yeah Babe Ruth with today’s training and medicine would hit 80 HRs a season. He wouldn’t be out whoring, eating, smoking and drinking all night and waking up and going to a play a true doubleheader the next day.

He would still probably be whoring, but I agree with your overall point.


Anyway, forget the hitting. Babe Ruth actually was a better pitcher than Ottavino could even dream to be.

C’mon man I’m sure they open mail and drink coffee in the clubhouse just like their genius NBA counterparts

Yeah but I’ve read even now in the NBA, you see that road teams have a higher winning percentage due to Tinder/dating sites getting them quick access to strange while on the road vs having to go out and find them at the club. At least that’s the working theory. Hahaha

That swing is very slow for a MLB player now. He would have to adjust it. I think he would but if we are talking about a time machine putting Babe Ruth into Yankee Stadium and saying "Go hit a home run" then he gets crushed. If he had time to make those adjustments that are now needed to compete I think he would easily.

I view it similarly how people say "Jordan wasn't a great three point shooter!" like he somehow couldn't extend his range. Ruth would have dominated but the exact type of player he was back then would struggle today.

Of course he would only hit .140 with 8 homers...he’d be 120 years old.

I agree . When you allow for inflation, the guys in 1927 only threw 79 mph unlike the 100 mph he wouldn’t get around on today .

But it would be a heavy 79.

Because it's not a term for pussy...it's short for "strange pussy" as in different from the one you're used to at home.

Are you saying that all film technology was in slow motion back then? If so, then I don't really understand the last sentence.
