  - not even in the same realm, really. -- nm - Andie May 12, 15:18
  - HDN was much better than it had to be. -- nm - loosilu May 12, 15:14

#6 in the majors in OPS, but #1 in your hearts! -- nm - David May 12, 14:50 18
- god i hate stat nerds -- nm - sherlock homie May 12, 14:51 16
  - In this day and age, OPS doesn't qualify as stat-nerd. It's the Kindergarden of statistics. (nm) - musubi May 12, 15:07 11
    - this is why Babe Ruth is the best hitter of all time. he could come straight from some hooker's hotel room, drunk out of his mind - sherlock homie May 12, 15:11 10
      - against shitty pitchers -- nm - psilotum May 12, 15:35 9
        
        When did the pitchers get good so this argument falls apart? - Will Hunting May 12, 15:50
        
        Not really, there were some great pitchers and no one else was able to to do what he did. - Krusty May 12, 15:46
        
        i'll assume they were equally good/bad against every other hitter of the time - sherlock homie May 12, 15:39 6
        
        there were fewer types of pitches in Ruth's time, too ... -- nm - Beryllium May 12, 15:41 5
        
        Not true. The pitcher was able to mess with the ball, the spit ball was still a legal pitch for instance. - Krusty May 12, 15:49 4
        
        Plus they didn't bring out new, shiny, bright-white balls all the time during the game. They were scuffed and dirty much of the time during gameplay -- nm - mara May 12, 15:57 3
        
        Yup, yet another advantage for the pitcher. - Krusty May 12, 16:02
        
        good point, mara! -- nm - sherlock homie May 12, 15:59 1
        
        this makes them harder to see in flight, meaning the batter would need even more skill. -- nm - Beryllium May 12, 16:00
  - And successful athletes! And teen girls! And quality entertainment and...I'm going to stop there since I have tickets at 7. - David May 12, 14:55 3
