Ruth will always be the king in my book so I picked him.

The hysteria surrounding marijuana in the 1920-1930's may have been enough to keep the Bambino from trying it.

I'm surprised to hear no one has chosen Jackie Robinson yet. Man the stories he could tell comin up through the Negro leauges and how
tough it must have been fightin' segregation in the 40's & 50's. He's my choice, hands down!!
