Now do it without a strength and training coach, access to the finest workout routines, and "sports supplements".

Give me the Babe who looked like a common guy any day.

6th inning, on a two-out, 2-2 pitch, no men on.

Or the new hitter friendly strike zone and watered down pitching talent.

I've had this article ready to post for two days, listening to the broadcast... and tonight, my computer crashes twice...

Proofreading in a panic, not a good thing.

Sheeze...

Well, this guy put himself where only three others have ever been...and those three are Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron and Willie Mays.

Babe Ruth was usually wolfing down hotdogs on the bench during games. Imagine how many homers he would have hit with a strength and training coach! At least 1,000.

You using that old falacy-filled argument about expansion and how it waters down the level of pitching? Think about it. Back in the 50s (or 40s or 30s or 20s) there were 16 teams, each carrying around 9 pitchers. Now there are almost twice as many teams. But does that mean that the pitching is spread twice as far? No! The population has more than doubled, plus the talent scouts are going all over Latin America and now to Japan and Korea.

I will agree with you about the bogus strike zone. Go back to the real strike zone and you fix a lot of problems with the game, but I don't go along with the watered down pitching argument.

with a strength and training coach!

The Babe was tremendously strong. A modern batting coach might have helped him a great deal.

Any sane batting coach would have left him alone.
