Does anyone remember who sid finch was?
His real name is actually George Herman Ruth, he got the nickname Babe from some of his teammates when he was young. The would tease him by calling him the coaches Baby, hence Babe Ruth. He actually pitched for the Red Sox. He was a lefty pitcher and ironically still holds the best winning percentage of any pitcher in history against the Yankees. He was sold to the Yankees by the red Sox so that the Boston owner could finance a play, again with the irony, the play was called "Damn Yankees." Hit hit 713 home runs in his major league career. He did not have a number when he played for the Red Sox because baseball players didn't wear numbers back then. When he came to Yankees he wore the number 3, because that was his position in the batting order. Because Ruth made the Yankees into a huge winner the New York Giants, who owned the Polo Grounds in NY where both teams played, kicked the Yankees out. The Yanks then built Yankee Stadium, which still stands today for two more years anyway, and is also known as the "House that Ruth Built." Now, that is knowledge, and you don't even have to go to Wikipedia!Men only: I'm a college student (20 y/o). Is this haircut a good thing for me to ask for?

In fact, he is considered one of the best pitchers of the 1910's.To put this into perspective- think about the great musical works of Mozart and the great paintings and sculptures of MIchelangelo. Then imagine that all these works were done by the same man.

How many homeruns will Scott Thorman hit this season?
1. Ruth holds the best career won-lost percentage by a left-handed pitcher against the...New York Yankees! (He was pitching at the time for the Red Sox.2. Ruth loved kids, and they were magnetized to him.
3. Ruth's appetites, for everything, were huge: women, booze, cigars, food, attention, money, etc.
4. When asked how he could justify making more money per year than President Hoover, he replied, "I had a better year."
5. He was attending a fancy-schmancy dinner with some very upper class types when the fine lady next to him offered him the asparagus. He declined, saying, "Asparagus makes my urine smell."
6. In his prime, he was the greatest basebal player who ever lived. He could hit for average and power. He was a great bae runner (when young). He was a better than average outfielder, and was a splendid pitcher. The above cannot be said about any other player who ever lived.
Hope this helps. Good luck!

his nickname was "*** lips" , can you use thatWho is the most electrifying player in baseball today?
Here'a an obscure fact... Early in his career any ball he hit that bounced in the field and went over the fence was called a homerun and not a ground rule double like it is today. So how many did he hit? I am sure it would not be many but a few...Also, I think he is the top baseball player of all time. Idol is really strong and probably should be reserved for the MLK, Sgt. Yorks, and really hero's from our history and not a ballplayer...
