If babe ruth was alive today would he use steriods if he could?
Question:
Answers:
Ladies, who do u think is the hottest baseball player currently playing?
I don't think he would have taken steriods because Babe Ruth didn't care enough. He was more concerned with women and partying. I'd argue that an overweight party animal nowadays wouldn't even make it to the majors. BTW, pitchers weren't nearly as good as they are today and mainly threw fastballs. Bond, MaQuire, or Sosa would've hit over 1000 jacks in 1920.Are there any white sox fans out there that go to the games that can tell me?
definitely not!!!!First person to get this, win ten points. What does POA mean?
No, he would still be drinking his beer and chasing the ladies.He's be 112, so he'd almost certainly be using oxygen and a wheelchair, and if he wanted to try to play, he'd being using anaboloc steroids legally, by prescription, since he wouldn't have the muscle strength to play otherwise.
After all, anabolic steroids have a legitimate medical purpose, and that is to assist in retaining muscle mass in various types of muscle wasting illnesses.
Hell Yeah!
No.. Seriously though... If Babe were a player today barring the rules of time... I think he would have. Based on what we know or have been taught of the Babe's personality I could totally see him using some form of enhancement simply because of his partying nature... If he were good enough to get drafted and selected to be a Major Leager by either Boston or New York... Remember folks what the question is... who we're talking about and the teams involved. Because he partied and womanized he'd need to retain his competitive image and would need or rely on the enhancements to give him the undisclosed "edge" which would be dismissed as natural ability.
Therefore I restate vehemently. HELL YEAH!
How many rows in section 155 at minute maid park?
No. Babe took too much pride in his God given talent.What does the backwards "k" represent in baseball?
Never!How can ANYONE possibly answer that question!!?? It is simply a dumb question with no possible answer.
Chow!!
Which player looks like he loves his job and which one wishes he was somewhere else?
Ok, first of all, Bonds, McGwire, and Sosa would not have had 1000 HRs in Ruth's time. Pitcher's threw far more than fastballs, including several pitches that are illegal today to throw. Parks were also on average much larger than they are today (though Babe did benefit from RF in Yankee Stadium). Only Bonds has been able to hit that many, WHILE JUICED, so how would he hit that many before steroids were invented, playing part of his career in the deadball era. Heavier bats were used, with there being less of a standard with the balls (which are more corked than they were then as well) which allowed great advantage to the pitchers through waterlogged and muddied up balls that were harder to see and hit.Ruth also benefited from only playing against white players, but you also need to remember that there were near half as many teams in his day as there are now, meaning that he played against probably the same percentage of top tier players, especially considering minorities still only make up 39.7% of the players according to MLB's 2005 report card.
Now, as to the question at hand, while Ruth is famous for being a womanizer and a drinker, but neither of those would help his playing abilities or performance. Also, as has been snidely pointed out, Ruth was not exactly known for being a physical specimen. Add onto that the problems he sometimes had with managers about his off the field antics (i.e. how they would be a detriment to his game), and I'd say you could say the Babe didn't care much about his physique.
Ruth was also well known for his love for children, which Bonds in particular isn't really known for, but rather for being a jerk. Ruth's character is pretty clean save for the drinking and womanizing.
I just find it hard to believe he would cheat, considering what he did naturally with no working out.
What was the biggest deficit you've seen your favorite team come back from?
I don't know. Would Abe Lincoln send our troops to Iraq if he were President today?Which MLB team do most people in Orange County (OC, O.C.) support? Angels or Dodgers?
He loved the game too much. Do see it happening.Milwaukee Brewers fast start, talented or just a fluke?
no he is already go at baseallWhy can't the Texas Rangers hit the ball anymore?
Are you talking about the Candy Bar...maybe!??? and then he'll go against the diet Pepsi machine....good match up!No, I doubt that Babe Ruth would take steroids because why would he, i mean he had 714 home runs without them so why bother cheating when you can do it by your self.
What team or player do you dislike the most?
YESSSSSSSSSSSIf you were a major leaguer and were coming up to bat what song would they put on for you?
No, it wouldn't make sense. He hit 714 home runs without using steroids, so why risk the criminal consequences as well as the social stigma associated with their use, not to mention the potential of that little * next to your name in the statistics categories.Where is the cheapest place to park near the Skydome to catch a Jay's game?
Yes. If he could still go out, party, booze, cavort with women, and get more muscular and stronger without any extra work, then why not?More Questions & Answers...
