    The Babe in color.

    There is other footage of Babe Ruth but for other reasons this is really special. Like what happened when it rained and a first baseman that the Yankees could never live without. I forgot the video. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tvmkAnqJvw

    102 years ago, a legend was born. He accomplished many things but his work with the Jimmy Fund and the following show how truly great he was. Edit: His career in baseball and service to his country obviously are terrific. But the commitment to the Jimmy Fund and his HOF makes him even more...

    Teams with 2 way players are allowed to let a pitcher rehab while letting them hit in the bigs. That team does lose the right to bring up someone to replace him. I'm kind of indifferent to it. It may help a team but not greatly...
