Funny how time fades people's memories of some of our biggest sports legends. Jack Dempsey was heavyweight champ of the world back then and was friends with the Babe. Dempsey was however much more popular than Babe back then. One of Dempseys fights earned him more money than Babe earned in his whole career. Dempsey also stared in movies. And after boxing and movies Dempsey did a stint in the military. So why are we still going on about Babe so much but not legends like Dempsey?

Because baseball is Americas pastime.

lol he just drops the Boston hat at the end just tells you how much he cared about Boston even though he was great for the Sox

[scotty9831]

it was a minor leage braves hat and boston rules and he always had respect for boston

Babe Ruth was NEVER that fat. Even though I never particularly cared for this movie, I did like this ending. I like the go fuck yourself moment at the end. That always gets me!:-D

[scotty9831]

i agree completely but please dont cuse up here but thanks for commenting the end is on my profile when he tlks to johney

My father one day says "I saw Babe Ruth once. He hit three home runs. The last one clean over the roof." WHAT? My Dad was also at Bill Mazeroski's homer in 1960 and Franco Harris' "Immaculate Reception". You want to see sports history, you needed to follow my Dad around.

you cut off the ending but regardless i love this movie, and john goodman is a fine actor

[apollo100]

Sorry I meant "that scene" and not "that shit". Darn phone.

[apollo100]

@md9751 that sums up that shit perfectly. The Babe is one of my favorite movies and I cry every time I watch it. Regardless of whether some of the scenes are true to form, the Babe came from nothing and made himself into a legend when everyone doubted him. He was the best that ever was, just like Johnny says at the end.

Mr. Goodman: I love you, but you know: I doubt Mr. Ruth acted as if to say:

Look what I did.

This actually just happened, so he would've just done it, no spite.

I'm aware of the view Mr. Ruth acted for show.

I think most / many of us hopefully grow from self-absorption and relish the

transformation.

That way we gain something beyond survival of the fittest and ego defense.

Beyond that, we only question how to grow more, how to be more caring.

Until it hurts.

Then we travel with next Q

[witchdoctorwithdogma]

So this is honest / spontaneous / otherwise easily reverse message engineered.

This event is actually mathematically morally historically impossible but telling.

I believe we have been given by a provable history - science -moral lesson -provable lesson how to travel to the stars and fix the paralyzed in a living moral universe and

on the unsettling side how to not destroy ourselves on an anthropologic level.

Only scapegoaters will have a serious problem with my and my collection of ideas.

[witchdoctorwithdogma]

I think this is for real. It's not up to me to say but I think Babe Ruth is blessed. I'm not nominally Catholic but the Pope's asking for forgiveness is an example for all of us. Own view: sites.google.com/site/holychan­ges We're ALL CORRECT so long as we are given to, as Ted Kennedy put it: a "better nature." Simply guessing computer universe, & computer - you, in living moral universe evolution /w/o simple srvivl of fttst; Buddha thus trnsfrmd. RELAYED. HOW TO TRAVEL BEYOND LOCALLY.

what is this song? it sounds similar to Fanfare for the common man!

[md9751]

at the 1:56 mark, the music that plays before he bats the last time is just simply breathtaking, it kinda feels like the last moment for you to seal your legacy of something...and you do something spectacular, and the triumphant glory that follows...

[Lassannn]

Goodman is so much bigger than Ruth it's ridiculous, but his performance is perfect and the movie's outstanding.

@scotty9831 fuck you
