Happy 115th Birthday to the Sultan of Swat, the Bambino, the great #3 …George Herman “Babe” Ruth!
Some selected reading:

“The only real game, I think, in the world is baseball.”
Quotes from the Baseball Almanac
“Don’t ever forget two things I am going to tell you. One, don’t believe everything that’s written about you. Two, don’t pick up too many checks.”
162 game average: .342/.474/.690, 46/143
The Moneyballin’ Press, circa 1932
“Many rumors concerning the likely salary Babe Ruth will draw with the New York Yankees in 1933 are floating around Gotham, but neither the Bambino nor Col Jacob Ruppert, the club owner, has intimated what the figure might be.”
During World War II, when Japanese soldiers charged American troops, they would sometimes scream, “To hell with Babe Ruth.” Not “to hell with FDR” or “to hell with Douglas MacArthur,” but “to hell with Babe Ruth.”
Babe the Revolutionary (the Babe Ruth Times)
“The batter who hits a ball into the stands cannot possibly be caught napping off any base.” (the Babe Ruth Times)
“He was a circus, a play and a movie, all rolled into one,” said teammate Lefty Gomez. “Kids adored him, Men idolized him. Women loved him. There was something about him that made him great.” Babe Ruth was more than a great baseball player, he was an American hero who became a legend and an icon. Long after his last home run, his name has come to signify greatness and strength.
Clarify?
I think that was Cashman posting.
He’s the spokesman for S.O.L.
Just got a recorded message from the mayor declaring a snow emergency.
Looks like baby K is gonna have a memorable birth.
I hope for K86′s sake, there is a bar across the street from the hospital, or he packed a goody bag.

His luck there will be a bar but it will be a gay bar!!!
I hate reality TV but I gotta admit these fattys are riveting.
Don’t know if anybody saw it, or if this will take, but you gotta catch the first 1:30 of the latest family guy.
