I hadn't seen this and thought it was really cool. Hoping others will enjoy.

That is cool. The size and weight of the bats back then always surprises me. I have a signed photo of Babe Ruth that’s been in my family forever. I have no idea what it’s worth, but it’s hanging in my oldest son’s bedroom

His throwing motion was so smooth and graceful but you could tell he had a powerful arm.
It’s amazing how closed his batting stance looked
Thanks for sharing that. Very cool.

This has to be rage bait.

It’s not graded or anything and is in the same frame it’s been in since probably the 70’s.

And pitchers throw a hell of a lot harder

Definitely looks like a pretty damn good pitcher from his throwing motion and his arm slot. Not to sure about the walk up stance and swing but I will give the BABE the benefit of the doubt

Priceless, I wouldn’t get rid of that ever.

This is an endless argument. Instead, appreciate Ruth for what he was, a player so many deviations from the norm that we will probably never see it again no matter the era

Watch all of those guys throw. It was all fluid and natural. What’s crazy to me is how good their hands were with those gloves.

Closed and narrow. Used both to garner even more power in his load and upon contact. He wasn’t a hard swinger, it was the mechanics from which he stood in the box to his load and swing where he gathered so much of his power. That and just being an immensely strong and huge (for those days) person.
Maybe the most naturally gifted baseball player of all time.

Exactly right….if he grew in modern times, he would also trained in modern times and be used to seeing modern pitchers. He would still be one of the best players in history. Another such player was shoeless Joe Jackson, who came 15 years before babe Ruth played….

Why is arguing this so important to some people?

and if Ruth played today he would have the benefit of 100 years of advancements like...everybody else playing today.

People who say shite like this simply assume that the 1920s version of Babe Ruth would plop down next to the plate. They don't factor in how he'd also have access to modern day sports science and nutrition, things that weren't available to him 100+ years ago.
