Our love with Wagner

you finally agreed with me. The reason why I brought up Ruth's character is because if you are building a dynasty around one person you may want that person to be of good character. Ruth was not the worst person. All in all he was a good man with some flaws. But those flaws did affect his ability. That is something to be considered if you are creating a team around one person.

Another thing to consider is the player's situation. Would Ruth have been as great if he played on say Brooklyn. Ruth is who he is because he was on a great team. Would he have been that good on a bad team? A very logical question and something to throw around. However, no right or wrong answer on a hypothetical.

I had no intention of degrading Ruth. It just came out that way when someone couldn't understand my posts. I'm no lawyer either but I do know what I am talking about. I have been studying baseball history for years. The only reason I collect cards is because of their relation to baseball history. But obviously this was my opinion based on some facts.

Trust me, my questioning of Ruth's character isn't the only problem people have with my comments. No one wants their hero badmouthed, especially the Yankee faithful across the country.

Sorry Anson, I really made a mess out of your thread.
