Anyways........Babe Ruth was a great ball player...............great indeed,,,,,,,,,,,he actually pitched a World Series game....................he was usually not a pitcher..........it was not the he was not great.........b/c he was one of the best...............the thing i am getting at is racism..........both were great............many people do not know about Josh Gibson, for one, b/c he played the majority of his career in the Negro leagues in the USA...............several seasons he played in Mexico........in the port city of Veracruz..........i took my 1st honeymoon there..............a gorgeous city and the greater state of Veracruz, Mexico is also beautiful...............................again, give credit were credit is due...............and Babe Ruth was a drunk............
Babe was a south paw............Josh a righty.........
In size............Josh is very close to Babe Ruth.................at 6' 1"...............220 lbs.............an inch shorter............and 6 lbs more..............so basically a wash in size............
