An excerpt regarding his career. Some times, I too feel easily distracted by toys and puppies. A fire engine, or its equivalent, does tend to make me want to leave my office.

  • Who is the twit who's talking about "sociopaths"? Rube may have been nuts but he had a heart and he died trying to help people in a flood. Nowadays he'd be called "mentally challenged" and put in a group home by someone like the pompous nerd in the video. At least in his day he was allowed to use his God given talent. He died young but he's in the Hall of Fame. Now we'd consign him to a totally useless existence "for his own good".

  • This is my "great-great-great uncle". I'm sooo proud!!! :)

  • @benisichigo wow it is great that you're a great great grandson of Rube. 'll bet as a boy your grandfather told you lots of stories about Rube ...I've often wondered if these ball players had any descendents today who were aware of their ancestors accomplishments. Thanks for sharing ....

  • As far as the stories go, I heard Rube once was almost killed a rival alligator wrestler who was upset that Rube was stealing his business.

  • America jails more people in lieu of execution...We are a humane society. The crime rate has dropped as a result oif this, you liberal jerk. .If you check out the cultures/ancestry of where most criminals come from, they just kill em. Over 80 % of violent crime in America is done by blacks and Hispanics... Just saying.

  • if your cousin likes to make up facts I hear the bar "Cheers", in Boston is looking for a replacement for Cliff Clavin
