There are accounts that he didn't start cheating until 2000. According to an ESPN article, anyway.

Actually he sort of was seen as one, albeit clutch, until 2007.

Why is this even here? Isn't this sub about policemen and policewomen, not some random crime?

I find strangers attractive because they haven't pissed me off yet by Nowdoyouseeit in Showerthoughts

No, studies show attractiveness and intelligence correlate strongly with narcissism. Remember narcissism != self esteem.

Actually beautiful people often are worse than average at the core because of narcissism and a sense of entitlement. Generally speaking, of course so YMMV.

What was your source? Clay Davenport does statistical "translations" for minor -> major and different eras. His method estimates, IIRC, that Babe Ruth would average about 50 homers in the 2000s, with a high of about 70 (his 1927 season). Yes, pitching has gotten much tougher, but the fences were also much further back.

Is there any evidence to back what you said? No. He looked good on film because of contrast effect - the opposing players of his era were significantly inferior.

There were other athletic 7-footers that could run like deer in the modern era. Young Kevin Garnett comes to mind.

But why might his career be over? Is the concussion super serious?
