Babe Ruth

He was a drunk, loved eating. He didn't roid or coke per Any historians. He was a womanizer and had a temper.

He did use racist terms and sadly that was OK back then. He used racist terms on white people as well such as Mick's and wops.

I disagree he was a racist.

He acted like a racist but he wasnt a racist because racism was accepted back then?
Makes sense

Terms like that were OK back then. Horrible? Yep.

I highly doubt he hates blacks or even didn't care for Black's with all of the information I put links in this thread.

Or you just trying to race bait?

I am calling someone a racist for acting like a racist
How is that race baiting?
 
If Ruth were brough to 2016 in a time machine he would suck. He would not be good enough to play in the Majors.
 
1/10, not a babe at all, IMO.
 
I'm a Honus Wagner guy.

Although a long time mariners fan, babe Ruth is one of my favorite players of all time. How do you rate him? Would he be good today?

Here is a good debate.

Definitely the GOAT. On the same level as Ali, jordan, manning, bj. Dude did it all on Hotdogs and beer. No trt or peds, legend. I won't ever forget seeing him live as a kid. The crowd went nuts when he scored a homerun. My pops told me I would never forget it and he was right. One of my greatest memories as a small town kid in the big city...

He'd never make it in this PC society
A big ole drunk, coked up, steroided out, racist neanderthal is a bad look for todays corporate sponsors
He'd be like that white boy lineman from miami that got suspended for bullying a few years back

Except Richie Icognito is a starter in the NFL right now and was on the top-100 players list this year...

And Riley Cooper said ":eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:" to someone on camera at a concert and stayed on the team for like two years after that in the NFL.

Seriously the "PC society" bullshit is so overrated, there's a team called the Redskins I think Babe would be fine lmao.
