Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 2898084, member: 780"] Except that people seem to overvalue more recent accomplishments. Their perspective is skewed and that’s why TR is on there, I submit. I gave the Creamer book on Ruth to a retired doctor friend of mine, who was a big STL Cards fan, and I suspect he had his own ideas on greatness. When he gave it back to me he just said, “Unquestionably the greatest ever” and he frequently did it with a hangover. People who don’t agree just don’t know the facts. I have heard tremendous, overpowering feats described as “Ruthian” meaning “in the manner of Babe Ruth”. [/QUOTE]
