"Now I've had everything except for the thrill of watching Babe Ruth play."
---Joe DiMaggio
Keep in mind that DiMaggio was banging Marilyn Monroe. But, he still felt that he had missed something special---seeing the great Bambino play ball.
One thing that the skeptic might ask is how did the Babe respond to the pressure of the post-season? Was he like Barry ('roid freak---allegedly)Bonds, who has been miserable or did he come through like a man?
The Babe's post-season hitting statistics include a .326 batting average and a .744 slugging percentage. He also stole 4 bases.
His post-season pitching stats are even better. In 31 innings, he posted a 3-0 record and a 0.87 ERA.
You make the call.
