Would the Legendary Babe Ruth Still Be a Star if He Played Today?
Hey guys,
Babe Ruth really started his career in 1915, and Mickey Mantle's first year was 1951.....note the " transposed-coincidence " of those two years in the 20th Century. At the risk of being accused a biased Yankees fan. In the modern era, I'd say Mickey was the closest BB player we've had to Ruth (in terms of hitting performance). Indeed, Babe Ruth was the greatest BB player. And, all I am saying here is Mickey came close in terms of power and clutch hitting in big games just as Ruth did in his era. Therefore, I totally agree with those here who have said that Ruth would be a "star" in the current BB environment. TED Z .
