27 more to go. That's Rick's pal. What do you think??? :biglaugh:
 
Ruth is the all time Yankee Franchise Player, A-hole should not even be mentioned in the same conversation.
 
Okay, Lillie needs a 3 game suspension....come-on commish.
 
I fail to understand how a rich powerful organization like the Yankees could not find a way to deal with A-hole, nor have the nads to drop underperforming overpaid CC Sabathia from the rotation with a younger, lees paid, better performing team mate.

But he doesn't bother anyone, He will probably retire after this season.
 
^^^Michael I'm in full agreement with you. And the thought of A-Roid reaching & than surpassing the Babe disgusts me.

He's not walking away from the $20M he's due in 17. I'm afraid we're stuck with him for this year & next.
 
When A-hole came to the Yankees many on the old ESPN Boards had the view that A-hole was "better" than Jeter. Stats are fine but time proved Jeter to be the resident Franchise Player in all aspects. I still see Aaron, Ruth, and Sat Hey as the Bopper Leaders with honor.

For what? Blasphemy!!!!!!!!!!! How dare you insinuate any connection between Babe Ruth and ARoid. Then to admit you are friends with that louse, really what kind of fan are you? If this board had a real commish you'd be banned for at least 3 days for an initial offense. ;)
 
I think she should be tested Tom, she's obviously on something. :no2drugs:
 
...there's a joke just laying there for me...but I'm not gonna do it.

The Babe: The Grand Godfather of the Yankee Universe- no doubt.
Also a quite imperfect man.


On Oct. 17, 1914, less than two weeks after his rookie season ended, Ruth married Helen Woodford, a 16-year-old coffee shop waitress he had met on his first day in Boston.
On June 23, 1917 at Fenway Park, Ruth was ejected by home plate umpire Brick Owens for arguing balls and strikes after walking the first batter of a game against the Senators. Ernie Shore replaced him. The baserunner, Senators second baseman Ray Morgan, was caught stealing, and Shore then retired all 26 men he faced in a 4-0 Red Sox win. Officially, Ruth is credited for participating in a combined no-hitter, but Shore is not credited with pitching a perfect game.

Soon after that first appearance as a position player, Ruth began to refuse to pitch, leading to tension with Red Sox manager Ed Barrow. In early July, Ruth attempted to leave the team and join a shipyard team in Chester, Pa., to avoid a fine from Barrow. Ruth quickly caved to the threat of legal action by Red Sox owner Harry Frazee and rejoined the Red Sox without playing for the shipyard team.
In 1921, Ruth and Helen adopted a daughter, Dorothy, who learned in 1980 that she was actually the biological daughter of Ruth and Juanita Jennings, a women she knew as a close family friend and with whom Ruth had one of his many affairs.

Ruth and teammate Bob Meusel were suspended for the first six weeks of the 1922 season by new baseball commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis for participating in a postseason barnstorming tour in October 1921 in violation of league rules. Ruth missed the Yankees’ first 33 games.
Ruth was appointed Yankees captain prior to the 1922 season, but on May 25, just his sixth game after returning from his suspension, he was ejected and responded to the taunts of the home crowd by jumping into the stands in pursuit of a heckler. Ruth didn’t catch his man, but he was suspended for one game, fined and stripped of his captaincy.
Ruth incurred two more suspensions in 1922. In late June, he was suspended for three days after charging in from leftfield to dispute a call at second base and calling umpire Bill Dinneen, “one of the vilest names known,” according to AL president Ban Johnson. Furious about his three-game suspension, Ruth got into it with Dinneen during batting practice the next day, resulting in Johnson adding two more days. On Aug. 30, he was ejected after responding to a called third strike with an obscenity and was again suspended for three days.

After losing a ball in the sun in the Polo Grounds’ leftfield on July 16, 1922, Ruth refused to ever play the sun field again, and he didn't. His position thereafter was determined by the geographic orientation of the ballpark in which he was playing. For the rest of his career, Ruth played exclusively in rightfield at the Polo Grounds and Yankee Stadium, as well as in Washington and Cleveland but exclusively in leftfield at the other AL cities (Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia and St. Louis).

Tired of Ruth’s carousing and insubordination,Yankees manager Miller Huggins suspended Ruth indefinitely and fined him $5,000 after Ruth arrived late the ballpark on Aug. 29, 1925. Huggins made Ruth apologize for his transgressions in front of the rest of the team before finally reinstating him on Sept. 7.
Ruth badly wanted to be a major league manager, but his opportunities were limited. The reason why is perhaps best summed up by Yankees GM Ed Barrow, who said, “How can he manage other men when he can’t even manage himself?”

Let's hold tight on those high horses.

Now she's seeing clowns...............I told you she was on something.:crazy::breakdance::gtfo:
 
People use to give Maris a hard time because he needed 8 extra games to break Ruth's record. But if they were going to put an asterisk next to Maris, how about one next to Aaron who needed almost 700 more games & around 3,500 more at bats to beat Ruth's career HR total.
 
Ruth did it with Alcohol and Cigars A-Rod did it with mysterious circumstances and Bozo Bushes' fat contract when he owned the Rangers

Nothing mysterious about A-Roids circumstances, He plain out knowingly cheated.
 
...the Bushes had nothing to do with ARod's contract...Tom Hicks bought the Rangers in 1998...ARod became a FA after the 2000 season and signed with Texas in 2001.

...ARod's 10 year deal with Tom Hicks and the Rangers was for $252 Million, which is actually $2 Mil more than Hicks paid for the whole Rangers franchise. ($25o Mil)
