Ruth could've made the baseball Hall of Fame without swinging a bat. He was that good of a pitcher.

He was that much better of a batter to quit being a pitcher. Nobody else even came close.

Still, I'm impressed with Dr. Sowell's baseball knowledge. George Will might be slightly better in this field.

But when it comes to economics, George Will wouldn't be fit to caddy for Dr. Sowell.

I remember being amazed as a kid when Whitey Ford set a new record for consecutive scoreless innings pitched in the World Series (from '60 - '62) at 33 innings .... and finding out it was Ruth who held the previous record of 29 2/3 innings.

Amen to all that!
