Yeah ... what those guys said ...

Who else besides me noticed the survey that ESPN did in which they asked all the major league baseball players to name the greatest living player ... ???

The surprise was not that Barry Bonds was named by most of his fellow players ... the surprise was that EIGHT of them said Babe Ruth

The Babe, of course, died in August of 1948, years before any of those guys were even born ... it's logical they didn't see his obit

Babe Ruth, A good part of his baseball career he played after partying the night before, can you imagine how many home runs he would have hit if he used " legalized steroids " like some players use today. JonR

Oh about 1000 or more home runs if he had used the legalized steriods and had the rabbit baseball and the little ball parks, and I could keep going on! The year the Babe hit 60 homeruns that was more than entire baseball teams hit in that same season. I believe the runner up to his 60 was Lou Gehrig with 47 homeruns. He would have benefitted with all of the above as well!

Sorry to jack this thread again, but.....

Charlie and JonR - legalized steroids?? Is that what these guys are using? I don't think that's accurate....

Take a walk through GNC sometime and read some of labels on the products. Hundreds of different products, none of which are 'legalized' steroids, or any type of steroids for that matter - and anyone can use these products in any way they want. Nothing illegal about it. Athletes use these products (me included) to get any kind of edge they can get. I use creatine, amino acid supplements and whey protein on a regular basis. All natural, and perfectly legal. The stuff I use works. The kicker: I have to work my butt off to stay in top shape, but these products help give me that little bit extra needed to improve. That is why they are called supplements (not legalized steroids) - They supplement your workout and help you improve. Today's athlete has that advantage, and most pro ball players would be stupid if they didn't use some of these products to their advantage. If they don't, the next guy will.

And just so you know - While I'm at GNC, I could buy the whole store, spend thousands of dollars, take every supplement in the book, workout 8 hours a day for a year,etc. It still wouldn't help me hit 60 homeruns in one season in the big leagues. There is no pill that makes you hit home runs - not even for Barry Bonds or Babe Ruth.

Sorry - I just thought your comments weren't very accurate.....

You make some valid points; however, Babe Ruth is still the greatest of all homerun hitters, with or without GNC and "wonderdrugs" or whatever you want to call them!

Absolutely Charlie - Ruth was one of the greatest ball players that ever lived! (remember - he started out as a pitcher!! career ERA of 2.28 in 163 games pitched).

It's hard to compare anyone in terms of baseball ability with Babe Ruth. You just can't do it.

Hopefully my post didn't come off the wrong way - I think your post was tongue-in-cheek. I just think people are quick to push the steroids-button without realizing what these guys are really using.

Although - I don't know what Bonds is using when he hit 73, but he didn't get it at GNC!! If he did, I haven't found it yet!!

Just for fun, get some old baseball cards or old baseball mag and look at pictures of Bonds and Sosa 5 to 7 years ago, skinny and each had heads that must have been a full hat size smaller than what they wear today! What causes your head to swell (besides overblown ego) and grow as much as a full hat size or more? Ain't from GNC.

Nope, no USMC. I almost signed the line after taking the tests and spending the day at the recruiters. I decided to talk it over with My Dad,an inactive USMC Sgt. After what He said to Me the idea didn't seem quite so good. Decided I'll see SE Asia some other time thank you. The "Rastus" was from some Black friends in H.S., the McNair just kind of happened.

I concur, and not only that am in partial to complete agreement with things that may or may not have been intimated and/or insinuated to which there are no equal resources other than pure conjecture in relation to the items being apparent to the situation in a manner that will or may also have been part of what may have been reiterated by most if not the few to which have been stated.

Okay, just wanted to add my 2 cents about the best baseball player. You really can't compare player of different eras, because the level of game is different. Babe Ruth was the most dominant player of his time. Ty Cobb was the so prolific with his bat (.366 lifetime average, hit over .400 3 times, 892 stolen bases). And Barry Bonds is so great for so many years in the modern era that he is deserving also. I wouldn't want to face any of them if I was pitching. And if A Rod continues his production, he might well be the best because his stats are ridiculous! But can he keep it up. Well, thats it.

My Baseball 2cents...

I do agree with choner on all points, but these are just hitting stars, except for maybe A-Rod. With these perameters you would have to include Teddy Ballgame, Frank Robinson, Hank Aaron, Honus Wagner and others. If we are talking best ALL-AROUND PLAYER which have all 5 tools, Power, avg, arm, speed, glove...Then its a different set of players. These qualities in total can erase those era boundries...That leaves only one player(IMHO) at the top of the list...

Willie Mays

What BeatDragon said....I don't know WHAT the Hell he said, but I like the sound of it!

BTW, you won't get any argument from me about the greatness of the Babe, however night games started after his career. And most of the experts all agree that a baseball is much harder to hit "under the lights" so you have to factor that in. Just my thoughts....

I agree with Choner, that is why I always say 10 greatest Pitchers, hitters, power hitters etc....you have players from different eras and can include them when you say top 10!

Jeeze, I just noticed the beard on this thread. And I would like to add that the safest record in all of baseball belongs to DiMaggio.

And what could Mantle have done if he had ever played sober?
