I'm inclined to believe him.

I never thought about it that way lol that is to funny ! Maybe the Babe was so good he doesn't seem human. The pressure never seemed to get to him and it would be impossible to say he wasn't the greatest ever. But he had such tremendous talent around him. You have to wonder what would have happened if he was just on a mediocre team like Williams or vice versa. I wonder how Ted would've handled the pinstripes.
