Dissin' The Babe? Bonds takes whack at Ruth

<< < (2/8) > >>

pappy:
first off its a well known fact bonds is a scum bag.  but xero or whatever ur name is,  u say the babe played drunk half the time,  imagine how good he would of been he played sober all the time.  an remember.  when babe was a pitcher he was also leading the league in home runs during the dead  ball era.  an than when he went to the yankees an the first couple of years it was still the dead ball era babe had more home runs than some teams.  also remember that playing condidtions are a lot better now than they were in the teens, 20's, an 30's.  Bonds in my opinion is a better overall player than the babe but what the babe has done for baseball,  barry will never come close 2 doing.  when u think baseball u think the babe

Trauma-san:
^^ YUP! I knew you'd come along with some info for us.  In my opinion, it's extremely hard to compare players from the friekin' what, 40's? and modern players, also.  There's just too many differences in the game, in standards, in your average player, etc. now as opposed to then to make any kind of comparison fair.

I.E., today, there's a lot more competition in baseball, almost everybody is an amazing player, all the players are in great shape, they have much more specialized coaches and training, etc... if you put a Babe Ruth in today's game, he'd excel with the advantages that today's players have over the people he was playing with.  He was a friekin' monster in his day, for Bonds to act like he's better shows him off as the asshole he is.  What prick goes around comparing himself to legends?

Sure, he could get to the plate, and crush the ball for a homerun...but thats ALL he could do!  He lead the league in homeruns of course...but he also lead the league in strikeouts.

Also, the guy was drunk half the time he played.

I would call Babe Ruth a homerun hitter at best.

Barry Bonds, on the other hand, is not only good at the plate.  The man has won the golden glove award 4 times(maybe 5).  He also has a great slugging precentage.

IMO, Barry Bonds is WAY better than Babe Ruth...but thats me.

What are you smoking? Ruth wasn the career walk guy before Ricky passed him. He has close to 100 wins as a pitcher. 714 homeruns. And he wasn't on the roids when he did this.

Babe Ruth is the Greatest Baseball Player of All Time.
