Not a good day for Balt. to celebrate Babe's 115th birthday.

[Craig Smith]

It is hard to think that Babe Ruth was born 115 years ago.

The celebration of his birthday that was going to be held in conjunction with the Museum in Baltimore must be a whiteout.

Just read that only 4 of his 17 records remain.

• Highest career slugging percentage: .690
• Highest career OPS (on-base plus slugging): 1.164
• Most extra-base hits, season: 119 (in 1921)
• Most times reaching base, season: 379 (1923).

Still is the greatest all around player ever. His records may have been broken-but when he held the records he was so far ahead of everyone else that played.

He was in a class by himself when he played, even with all of his penchant to indluge in many unhealthy activities.
Anyway, he got heavenly confetti for his birthday
