    In the 1928 World Series Ruth went 10 for 16 with 3 doubles & 3 HRs
    In the '23 World Series Ruth had 7 hits in 6 games, 1 2B, 1 3B & 3HRs, plus 8 walks

    I look forward to your posts, like I look forward to seeing a camel toe on Hillary Clinton

    The previous record was 25, by Buck Freeman in 1899.

    And he was hitting a lot more than 30 in the years that he was outhomering teams, a feat he accomplished every year from 1919-1924 and 1926-1932.

    Actually, the single season record was 27 by Ned Williamson set in 1884. Ruth broke that record with 29 in 1919 and he broke that mark with 54 in 1920. Bonds would have to have hit over 120 HRs in a season to do to the record what Ruth did. By any measure, Bonds comes up lacking against Ruth

    Between 1918 and 1935 every player who won an outright homerun crown that wasn't named Babe Ruth, is in the Hall of Fame

    Respect your opinion, but after what just happened to Marky Mark this year, I wouldn't bet the ranch on it . . .

    I hate child molesters. Does this make me a "hater".

    Using the word "hater" -- sign 1,294 that you are a douchebag.
