In this day and age, OPS doesn't qualify as stat-nerd. It's the Kindergarden of statistics. (nm)

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

Not really, there were some great pitchers and no one else was able to to do what he did.

Not true. The pitcher was able to mess with the ball, the spit ball was still a legal pitch for instance.

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

this makes them harder to see in flight, meaning the batter would need even more skill. -- nm
