Anyone hear Bonds go off on Babe Ruth like a jackass the other day?
Quote:
The San Francisco slugger leads the majors with 30 homers at the All-Star break, putting him just 17 shy of matching his godfather - Mays - for third on the all-time list.
“Willie’s number is always the one that I’ve strived for,” Bonds said during Monday’s press sessions.
“And if it does happen, the only number I care about is Babe Ruth’s. Because as a left-handed hitter, I wiped him out. That’s it. And in the baseball world, Babe Ruth’s everything, right? I got his slugging percentage and I’ll take his home runs and that’s it. Don’t talk about him no more.”
Ruth hit 714 home runs, a mark that stood for many years until Aaron came along. Aaron finished with 755, but Bonds said “755 isn’t the number that’s always caught my eye.”

Here's a number to catch your eye, Barry. 94. That's how many games Ruth won AS A PITCHER. With a career ERA of 2.24, while you're bullshitting. He won 3 world series games, two of them complete games and allowed only 3 runs. Guess you won't be taking the mound anytime soon, right Barry?
More numbers? 137. That's your career high season RBI mark. The Babe tied or beat that NINE TIMES. Seasons were shorter then, by the way. How about 3? That's how many times you've hit more than 45 homers in a season. Once again, NINE TIMES for Ruth. And you may have beaten his
single season slugging record; for your career, you're not even close. Ruth also led his league in slugging 12 out of 13 years. He was injured for half of 1925. Congratulations on one thing though - this year you surpassed Ruth's career STRIKEOUT record. Way to go!
Oh yeah, here's another number, Barry. 7. That's how many World Series titles Babe won. You have exactly zero. Shut the FUCK up and show some respect.
