Anything to do with the Babe deserves to be posted here.

That was the worst throw I've ever seen. I would have booed.

I think the throw was pretty good. I hope I can walk by the time I am 98.

Would have been a low strike to a squirrel! At least she caught the plate. Not bad at 98. Hope I am around to do something similar...at any age.

Give me a break, at 98 that was a good throw. Just hope you live that long

It wasn't a "good throw" in any sense. They should have had her drop the ball into the catcher's glove so it wouldn't have looked so ridiculous. People would have cheered and we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Actually DB if you have ever played baseball then that throw was a fine throw in the sense that it was straight and right to the person it was intended to go to.

When a 3B bounces a throw to the 1B, it is sometimes considered fine if it gets to the target any which way.

As a former infielder, I would have taken that throw from my 2B instead of some of the tosses I got over my head or into the outfield on double plays.

I liked that throw. Babe Ruth would have been proud.

Peace, Mike

And I might have punched you in the nose.

If it makes you feel better, you are free to punch me all day long, Leon. I can take it. but there is something else you are overlooking. Babe Ruth literally CURSED Boston for nearly a century and some say the curse, despite the recent championships, is still on. Red Sox fans who cheered for that throw may as well have been cheering the spawn of Satan. If you are a Yankees fan and you want to cheer for that throw, fine. I would encourage everybody else to join me in a robust chorus of boos.

I think you really are missing the point here.

There are now rumors swirling that Julia Ruth Stevens actually has a cannon for an arm and that she purposely disrespected the fans of Boston by firing the ball right into the dirt. It's inexcusable.

I def agree with you on this.

In the press box interview, she states that she is legally blind. Lighten up, Francis!

[egri]

She found the plate, which is more than you can say for most of the pitchers the Sox have trotted out over the past few years.

While my critique of the Bambina's throw may have angered some, I would hope that folks understand I am a strong proponent of females in the baseball world. Who else among us can boast of a card collection featuring 10 beautiful, professionally graded ladies? Who? Post your graded ladies or forever hold your peace.

Also, my all-time favorite little leaguer is the fantastic Mo'ne Davis because she can bring the heat.

Doesn't change any perception of you from your orig post. As stated earlier above, you are still an idiot.

You mean until one gets away in the dirt. Then she should be booed and run out of town, banned for life from ever even going into a game again. I mean why not? If you can't throw a strike, get out of the game!
