Ted you once posted that whole article and it was priceless. The writer kept referring to Ruth as the Great Man of Baseball in a style that we no longer see today. It also bears noting that his third and final homerun apparently left the park entirely, a monumental blast. It also bears noting that 87 years later, there is nobody else who fairly could be called the Great Man of Baseball.
