    No, I like to call out shitty logic is all.

    You just display a lot of it.

    I'm not calling you a racist, I'm calling your remark on Babe Ruth a racist remark.

    There's a huge difference.

    If thats shitty logic, then its even more of a crap ass logic for anyone to say that Bonds/Clemens records are tainted, because of circumstantual evidence.

    Just focus on that instead of drawing asinine comparisons and making racist remarks with Babe Ruth and we won't have these conversations anymore.

    Point is, Ruth accomplished something easily, while Bonds accomplished the same thing and did it better on a even level playing field.

    So Ruth was before his time? Is that all you are saying GF83? He was ahead of his time, right? The talent of the power hitter had not been addressed as such a magnificent part of the game before Ruth.

    I get Leo's point on the racist remark as well. Only because if it were flipped and we were talking about Bonds only playing against black players and those said black players were inferior, I guarantee there would be a problem.

    I also get GF83's point. Bonds has done it when the competition is at an all time high. Regardless of what national origin is playing.

    You have to think of it from both ends man.

    I thought it was hilarious to throw in the asterisk remark to open up the conversation. We all have to admit it was funny. But this thread has become official

    moving on?

    The only phrase on earth that can possibly offend me:

    "I am offended."

    Aren't you offending yourself by admitting that?

    It really was meant as nothing more than a joke, but I also knew it'd more than likely spark the shenanigans again.

    I've received four rep+s for that post, though.

    Or maybe Ruth using a cork bat? Maybe thats the reason why he hit more homeruns than teams combined, or maybe he was "allegedly cheating" as we all have heard that phrase before. Because if someone hits more homeruns today then a team combined, everyone wouldn't believe it and think/assume he's cheating and ect.

    Now about Ruth not playing against minorities, if its a racist statement, I wasn't the first one to bring up this fact, Kevin Wheeler, Peter Gammons, and Stephen A Smith have it brought this question about ruth up one time or another, and two of them happen to be white americans.
