EXACTLY. I'm tired of these people acting like they know what the fucks going on, when they're ignorant. He straight up said he doesn't care about baseball, but yet he thinks he's qualified to rate the players? Please.
Just like the dude on the other thread who said Pirates of the Carribean was a horrible movie, but he'd never seen it.

it's obviously two different eras, as baseball has had many different eras. Bonds is the greatest player of the current era, hands down. Multiple time golden glove, as he got older, more of a slugger, a contact batter in his youth, stolen bases, the whole nine. Ruth was a power player. He pitched hard fast balls, and hit more home runs of any man until Hank Aaron came along. Bonds wanting to break Ruths records is not uncommon, him saying what he said is not uncommon. Shit, his gunning for the top dogg. Ruth will no be replaced, but Bonds has a goal to do so. With that goal, he will make himself a legand in his own time, and a hundred years from now baseball experts will be comparing their era with Bonds, and other great players. And if his being a prick by thinking that way, well shit, every athlete is a prick, because records are made to be broken, and Bonds is doing what every other player only dreams of.

I said i dont CARE about baseball, i never said i dont know anything about it. I dont particularly LIKE the..."sport", but that doesnt mean i dont actually know alot about it. So if you were having trouble understanding that...then this should help. If u still need further explaination on how its possible to not CARE about something, but still have knowledge in that area...u can just PM ok? The only thing "ignorant" about this whole thing, was yur stupidass assumption that i know nothing about baseball. As for "The Babe", i told u i didnt wanna get into why i feel he's overrated...and i still aint going to. I guarentee it will only result in tha thread getting locked, because theres no way you or Tom will stay on topic...and it will just turn into a big race thing. So fukit. Its useless. Deal with it, and move on.

It's clear you don't know anything about baseball, because after you were given some stats you still Ruth is overrated and just a home run hitter. Even though he has close to 100 wins as a pitcher. He was the career walks leader before Rickey passed him a couple years ago. He has 500 more RBI's then Bonds and 62 more triples then Bonds. And he wasn't on the roids.
Babe isn't overrated. He's the Greatest player of all time.
Now you give me facts that prove Ruth is overrated!

Babe was a power player. He was not the most skilled player, he overpowered an era that wasn't as strong as now. Now if Babe played today, he would be like McGwair, only that can pitch like Randy Johnson. Is he the greatest, I think Willie Mays, but that's disputable. Babe though might be the greatest power player ever. Pitched hard, hit homes, and was great at it. I prefer more speed players, with great fielding, like Willie Mays, a young Bonds, Mickey and Ricky Henderson. It's opinion, but Babe is the greatest power player ever. Hank Aaron was great, but Babe was the greatest in the aspect. Is he overrate, depends on what you want.
