    I heard some News today about them finding some Old footage of Babe Ruth when he was out Hunting. He was hunting birds and was like narrating the whole time. Whoever found that got him some money

    I saw the video. That's gonna be hard to come back at his age. I wouldn't bet against him, though.

    Have you ever seen "Baseball", the documentary by Ken Burns. Excellent and lots of footage I never saw before of many players.

    Nah.....I never got into Baseball to much except when I was a kid. Even my sons weren't into Baseball. Pretty much every other sport but baseball. I took them to a Couple of Cubs and White Sox's games as Each is a fan of the North Siders and South Siders. But that was it.

    There is lots of footage of Babe Ruth in it. Shows him in Baltimore as a teenager when he signed with the Red Sox. He was a lean mean hitting and pitching machine.

    Meh, O's / Jays tend to do well early in the season is nothing new.... though the O's are realistically improved, but I doubt they'll win the wild card or the division. though finishing above .500 for the first time in over a decade is within the realm of possiblity.

    Speaking of the O's... today's game is a real LOL. 17 inning, the winning AND losing pitcher are both Position players I guess Chris Davis strikes out so much that he knows how to strike out other players too
