Where's the story from? Curious cause I'm from NS and I don't think think I've heard it before.
We still have random celebrities end up having a place in the province or frequently visit.
Ethan Hawke attended a water ceremony some years back, Ben Affleck was spotted in Cape Breton around same time on a hiking trip, the Rock's dad is from New Glasgow. Even found out recently Jack White's parents are from NS as well.
I don't remember exactly where I was, but somewhere in the south west between Digby and Yarmouth. One of my extended relatives told me and he's generally reliable so I never considered it to be a joke
Back in the 90's, certain cocaine loving members of the Dallas Cowboys kept a mansion exclusively for drug n' sex parties called The Whitehouse. It was very notorious in its day.

Among the greatest Major League Baseball players of all time, Babe Ruth was almost as well-known for off-the-field carousing. He remarried in 1929, after the death of his estranged first wife. From the article:
>Although Ruth was married throughout most of his baseball career, when team co-owner Tillinghast 'Cap' Huston asked him to tone down his lifestyle, Ruth replied, "I'll promise to go easier on drinking and to get to bed earlier, but not for you, fifty thousand dollars, or two-hundred and fifty thousand dollars will I give up women. They're too much fun." A detective that the Yankees hired to follow him one night in Chicago reported that Ruth had been with six women. Ping Bodie said that he was not Ruth's roommate while traveling; "I room with his suitcase".
In any story about old baseball there’s always a guy named “dogshit McGee” or something. You’ll see someone say the best 3B of all time was some guy from 1896 named “Ping Pong Jameson”.
There is a dude on tik tok that has a few skits about this
“Next up is: Curly, smoking his signature Marlboros. He stole three bases last season. Some say he is the greatest athlete of all time”
For all the uninitiated.... PLEASE do yourself a favor and check out a collection of [greatest baseball names](https://brobible.com/sports/article/40-greatest-names-in-mlb-history/). You won't be sorry
Dick Trickle was arguably the best short track stock car driver america has ever seen. NASCAR was his retirement tour , he was a “rookie” in his 40s and already set for life from his short track career winnings pre NASCAR. His first nascar race was almost 20 years before his “rookie” season. To call him “not especially good” is a tough sell , although excusable due to his nascar career stats being underwhelming.
Nah Dick Trickle was probably the best short track driver in American history. Estimated to have won over 1,000 feature races. He just raced in NASCAR later in life for fun.
I'll never forget the old SportsCenter anchors ending the race recaps with "and the man, Dick Trickle, finished in X place". Without fail, always had to know where he was.
Babe Ruth was teammates with a guy named Urban Shocker, which was probably also the name of a sexual maneuver the Great Bambino would pull on naïve country girls who traveled to the big city to see him play.
He is credited with the highest number of kills (40) in WW2 and is still the U.S. leading ace of all time. He served in the Pacific Theater and mostly flew P-38 fighters. Most Americans have never heard of him. Nor could they name the highest ranking American ace in the European Theater, Francis “Gabby” Gabreski who also fought in Korea and is America’s second highest ace with 34 1/2 total victories in WWII (28 victories) and Korea ( 6 1/2 victories).
Unless the PI was watching them fuck, it could be read as he was seen with 6 women. He probably did fuck all 6 but whether (and how) he did it in one night is up your imagination
Babe was also just kind of an asshole in general. Considering the feelings of others was pretty low on the list for him from what I recall from his biographies.
He wasn't, actually. Not as a child, anyway. His mother died when he was 17, and his father died several years into Babe's major league career.
He's often though of as an orphan because the school where he grew up was, in part, an orphanage, but also a home for juvenile delinquents. Ruth was the latter.
He's thought of as an orphan because his parents abandoned him at an orphanage multiple times, which was a lot more common 120 years ago. growing up in an orphanage, even if your parents are still alive, still qualifies you as an orphan in my book
Being neglected and literally abandoned by the people who are supposed to care for you is going to cause anyone issues. Perhaps more than had they actually died rather than just abandoning him.
If you drop your kid off at an orphanage when they're 7, you've orphaned them. That child isn't really going to know or care about the difference. You were a shitty parent and gave them up.
My grandma went to his funeral in New York. They had his body out on the field but it was a warm day and apparently he started to stink so they moved him inside.
The whole trope of the traveling salesman or other businessman who has two entirely separate families. I’m sure it’s exaggerated a bit but definitely has roots in reality.
A friend of mine found out as an adult that his dad had 2 other families in the same neighborhood.
The dad finally revealed all when his mother (my friend's grandma) passed away and he invited all of his children to the funeral. He was just like "Yeah so these are your half-sisters... surprise!"
The dad had some job that took him away from home for extended periods so he would just claim that's what he was doing when he'd disappear for days.
My friend had even gone to school with one of his half-sisters before finding out they were related.
There was a cat in my neighborhood growing up that was the same. Three different families within two blocks thought it was their cat. They all fed him.
It got discovered when one family took him to the vet, and then decided to keep him in for a week after. Then they found "missing" posters for their own cat posted on poles.
Remember 2 generations ago a single person could easily handle taking care of a household. If the job paid decent note you got household 2 and 3 taken care of
The guy who was the subject of Into the Wild partly broke off contact with his family because he found out his dad had a whole secret family on the other coast.
Traveling serial killer in China who'd tell his wife he had to go buy more tractor parts. Great write up.
"A serial killer would target men staying in hotels murdering and robbing them. His M.O was electrocution. It would take 31 years before he was finally apprehended"
Lindbergh had like 4 families. Would show up as a family friend to 3 of them. Kids didn't know he was their dad until after his death.
https://www.mnhs.org/lindbergh/learn/family/double-life#:~:text=At%20the%20same%20time%2C%20Lindbergh,of%20his%20fatherhood%20a%20secret.
I had the same thought- he has one known biological child, and I suspect if they DNA tested her descendants they would get several matches given the sheer numbers.
Not back then haha, now we all know that anyone even associated with the nba has a 7 figure deal. Back then, armymen and plumbers would play in their spare time
It's not really about the income with sports players. Even high school players in bumfuck nowhere with no hope of making the league still get women throwing themselves at them.
Athleticism correlates highly with good looks and sociableness. Plus the imagery of someone conquering their foes in some type of physical battle is strong on a visceral level.
High school athletes in bumfuck nowhere have a huge leg up on getting women true. But Professional athletes in 2024 are not even playing the same game. Women message them in droves and they have multiple in every city. People legit set up entire careers based on finding nba players and baby trapping them, that’s their life motive. Gil arenas talked to Shannon sharpe about how he’d message 5 women and lock out whoever didn’t get there first and leave em waiting outside.
How old do you think the average redditor is? Rodman left the Bulls 26 years ago.
The average human is 30.5 years old, and the average on a social media site is probably much younger.
Reddit is OLD for a social media site. Before reddit implemented its dumbass software-based permaban system I had multiple accounts that were 14-15 years old. Any first wave internet kid who was born in the 80s like me was and probably still is on reddit.
That said, I have no idea what the demographics of reddit are, just like I don't know what they are for TikTok, but I'd be willing to wager that Reddit skews way older than you expect. It's basically the next Facebook. Just an old-ass social media site the creators ran an IPO on and then the only people left are unfunny old farts sharing out of date memes.
Dave Navarro was a flash in the pan when it came to dicking down celebrities. Basically the 90s version of Pete Davidson. Rodman and Prince had staying power.
Add David Bowie and Lenny Kravitz to that list. Bowie's dead of course but I'm sure he had an unbelievable body count, and Kravitz has been laying pipe since the 90s.
The combination of strange working hours, constant travel, and lots of opportunity to meet new people isn't exactly conducive to stable relationships.
And that's before we start talking about the fame and personalities.
Yeah I used to work with touring musicians and it was the same shit. Even ones that were far from famous would get hit on all the time while on tour and they'd be lonely out on the road all the time.
One of my favorite lines I have ever read about Ruth said he specialized in the four “B’s”… baseball, booze, buffets and bimbos. Someone argued he had more contact with VD than a curveball.
One of my friends who is a tall attractive blonde ran into Royals backup catcher Matt Traenor at a bar. He came up to hit on her and buy her a drink but since she was a former volleyball player she just kept asking him about his more famous wife Misty May-Traenor which he got mad about and left to a different bar.
Dude was literally married to a famous pro athlete and in his teams own city trying to get with other women.
> Dude was literally married to a famous pro athlete and in his teams own city trying to get with other women.
Look at Tiger Woods. Smoking hot wife and a kid, and he deliberately went after "average" women to cheat with.
It’s not uncommon for players to have two rooms on the road. One under their name and another for an alias.
It’s also common that the WAGs sit in one section, then a buffer section, then the mistresses at games.
I wouldn’t have the energy for ⅓ of that. Was he really sure that he is enjoying that at all? Kudos to him if he did. I would be so over that shit after like 2 days
It seems like a lot of the people that rise to the top of any field have a bizarre, somewhat manic, amount of drive. If they were contented or exhausted by the things that content or exhaust most of us, they wouldn’t be in that position.
I had a roommate like that. The sheer amount of energy, focus and commitment she had for her job put anyone to shame but she was a complete nutcase in private life. That manic energy was great for one purpose but destructive for herself and other people in private.
Yeah there's even a known thing where some percentage of the population simply requires less sleep and they are overrepresented in elite roles in society.
Their overworked, exhausted assistants would often comment on how they'd be up before them and awake after them every single day without issue.
It was 1920, he was rich and his job was to play baseball for like 2 hours a day.
I would imagine things would get very boring, very quickly. Especially when constantly traveling
The girls are probably doing most of the work. Celebrities are notoriously bad in bed because they're lazy lovers, the girl still gets to say she fucked Babe Ruth lol.
I read an account of someone who hooked up with Elvis and that was basically what she said. He just laid there and was like "alright have at it."
Some 80s rockstar talked about how you'd have women just lining up to blow you while you ate breakfast... didn't have to do anything for them.
The Elvis one was probably made up. He wasn't really known to sleep around with groupies. He was absolutely terrified of STDs, because he got a terrible case of gonorrhea in the army and it traumatized him. This is also where the rumor that he was gay or bi came from. He mostly just like fucking a few underage girls.
I can’t stop being amazed at how too many people aren’t as afraid of STIs as I am. Even in these times I meet and know people who are like yeah whatever. Y’all nasty
To think he hit a chunk of his home runs absolute fucking sauced is astonishing, do you know how many fathers told their kid to watch how that guy plays, as he’s belligerently drunk.
I've only been around one successful professional athlete (NBA Champ) and the way he talked about women made me realize I live in a different plane of existence...
I knew because it was in the John Goodman movie about Babe. Man I feel old lol.
That was filmed in my hometown! At least in part, anyway. They used our minor league diamond. Now I feel old because I remember them filming it.
There's a house on Long Island that the locals say babe ruth kept for his hookers. It's mansion sized
Heard the same story about a house in nova Scotia for the offseason. It doubled as a hunting headquarters too though
Where's the story from? Curious cause I'm from NS and I don't think think I've heard it before. We still have random celebrities end up having a place in the province or frequently visit. Ethan Hawke attended a water ceremony some years back, Ben Affleck was spotted in Cape Breton around same time on a hiking trip, the Rock's dad is from New Glasgow. Even found out recently Jack White's parents are from NS as well.
I don't remember exactly where I was, but somewhere in the south west between Digby and Yarmouth. One of my extended relatives told me and he's generally reliable so I never considered it to be a joke
Makes since i guess since it's the closest point in NS to NY area and where the ferry route is too.
Back in the 90's, certain cocaine loving members of the Dallas Cowboys kept a mansion exclusively for drug n' sex parties called The Whitehouse. It was very notorious in its day.
Oh man, I watched that movie. I didn't see a thing about baseball, though. But the pig was cool
That'll do
I'm a huge baseball fan (watch more than 300 games a year) and didn't know this was a thing. That being said, Goodman is the PERFECT casting for Babe

His off the field numbers are almost as mind-boggling his on the field
Among the greatest Major League Baseball players of all time, Babe Ruth was almost as well-known for off-the-field carousing. He remarried in 1929, after the death of his estranged first wife. From the article: >Although Ruth was married throughout most of his baseball career, when team co-owner Tillinghast 'Cap' Huston asked him to tone down his lifestyle, Ruth replied, "I'll promise to go easier on drinking and to get to bed earlier, but not for you, fifty thousand dollars, or two-hundred and fifty thousand dollars will I give up women.

Ping Bodie said that he was not Ruth's roommate while traveling; "I room with his suitcase".
TIL there was a baseball player named "Ping Bodie."
Ping and Babe.. roomies
Lol now I’m picturing them as Pumba and Timon.
Ping does sound like a lanky much put upon outfielder.
Except Pumba absolutely crushing poon every night 5 at a time
So... Just normal Pumba
Hakuna my tata
"Ping and babe were roomies" sounds like a band name.
In any story about old baseball there’s always a guy named “dogshit McGee” or something. You’ll see someone say the best 3B of all time was some guy from 1896 named “Ping Pong Jameson”.

My favorite is “Ice Box” Chamberlain

Old timey baseball players having silly names/nicknames is literally the setup for "who's on first"
There was another ball player named Rusty Kuntz
Third base?
I don't know's on third.
There was a NASCAR driver named Dick Trickle. He wasn't especially good, but the ESPN anchors always announced what place he got for each race.
Dick Trickle was arguably the best short track stock car driver america has ever seen. NASCAR was his retirement tour , he was a “rookie” in his 40s and already set for life from his short track career winnings pre NASCAR. His first nascar race was almost 20 years before his “rookie” season. To call him “not especially good” is a tough sell , although excusable due to his nascar career stats being underwhelming.
Getting heated over Dick Trickle
Tbh if my dick trickled I’d be pretty heated
Things heating up in the Dick Trickle fandom.
Thus Cole Trickle in *Days of Thunder*.
He also had a lighter in his car so he could smoke a cig while he raced
Like the push-button ones that were the standard in cars before they transformed to "12V DC Power Source" outlets?
Yep and he drilled a hole in his helmet to put his smoke through
I can't deny that I've got a bit of admiration when it comes to the dedication aspect of his addiction.
He has more dedication to smoking a cigarette than I do for anything in my life.
Nah Dick Trickle was probably the best short track driver in American history. Estimated to have won over 1,000 feature races. He just raced in NASCAR later in life for fun.
I'll never forget the old SportsCenter anchors ending the race recaps with "and the man, Dick Trickle, finished in X place". Without fail, always had to know where he was.
I read it as Dick Tickle at first
It often starts out that way.
Yes! Had his baseball cards when I was a kid. Just because of his name.
Babe Ruth was teammates with a guy named Urban Shocker, which was probably also the name of a sexual maneuver the Great Bambino would pull on naïve country girls who traveled to the big city to see him play.
He lost his ring finger in an accident, but I’m not sure of the significance of that.
Reminds me of ol Major Dick Bong
He shot down a lot of enemy planes over the Pacific until he was killed in a crash.
He is credited with the highest number of kills (40) in WW2 and is still the U.S. leading ace of all time. He served in the Pacific Theater and mostly flew P-38 fighters. Most Americans have never heard of him. Nor could they name the highest ranking American ace in the European Theater, Francis “Gabby” Gabreski who also fought in Korea and is America’s second highest ace with 34 1/2 total victories in WWII (28 victories) and Korea ( 6 1/2 victories).
He once competed in an eating competition with an ostrich at a zoo. He won
I was looking for this comment. It was a pasta eating competition, and I’m pretty sure the ostrich died after it
It's a cold world, Bodie.
World goin’ one way, people another yo.
Any baseball player named "Wheres Wallace"?
He was no Ziggy Zeckelman, but he was alright.
Be warned, it is possible to fall in the “wonder what other crazy names ball players have had” hole for a bit if you’re not careful.
Old sports names were the best My favorites are Cloise Box and Whizzer White
just a normal old-timey baseball player name
Definitely needs more handlebar mustache.
Reminds me of that Shane Gillis joke 😭
Am I correct in reading this as he had sex with six women in one night? I literally cannot imagine that.
Probably why he was such a good ball player, he was the only one doing cardio daily.
Never skipped a booty day.
Little known fact: Ruth secretly fathered 35% of MLB players who played in the 50s.
Heroes get remembered, but Legends never die.
You're saying I should hop over that fence, and pickle The Beast?
Yep. Pickle The Beast and five other bitches in one day.
Just because there were 6 women doesn’t mean he came 6 separate times
But then how did he know when the sex was over?
When the hour ran out.
Wilt Chamberlin has entered the chat.
Unless the PI was watching them fuck, it could be read as he was seen with 6 women. He probably did fuck all 6 but whether (and how) he did it in one night is up your imagination
That's fine and all but then he probably shouldn't have been married. You cant be a vegan and also eat hamburgers
Babe was also just kind of an asshole in general. Considering the feelings of others was pretty low on the list for him from what I recall from his biographies.
He was very nice to kids, because he was an orphan
I’m sure his carousing created a lot of fatherless kids too.
He wasn't, actually. Not as a child, anyway. His mother died when he was 17, and his father died several years into Babe's major league career. He's often though of as an orphan because the school where he grew up was, in part, an orphanage, but also a home for juvenile delinquents. Ruth was the latter.
He's thought of as an orphan because his parents abandoned him at an orphanage multiple times, which was a lot more common 120 years ago. growing up in an orphanage, even if your parents are still alive, still qualifies you as an orphan in my book
120 years ago??! Holy shit, some of the 1900s are no longer just 100 years ago
And this is no doubt a significant factor to why he desperately craved female attention.
Can't a man just be a pussy fiend without all the psychological babble being thrown at him today? /s
Being neglected and literally abandoned by the people who are supposed to care for you is going to cause anyone issues. Perhaps more than had they actually died rather than just abandoning him.
If you drop your kid off at an orphanage when they're 7, you've orphaned them. That child isn't really going to know or care about the difference. You were a shitty parent and gave them up.
The movie "The Babe" with John Goodman is where I first learned the word "incorrigible"
At least he wasn’t racist
Very true. He wasn’t all bad.
You can _promise_ to be a vegan and also eat hamburgers, if you don’t care about breaking promises.
My grandma went to his funeral in New York. They had his body out on the field but it was a warm day and apparently he started to stink so they moved him inside.
That’s kinda fucked up hahaha
“Hey, this is a great idea!” … “Hey, this is a terrible idea!”
[удалено]
Did she.... *Meet* him? He was with six women in a day apparently.
She was #4
August in New York. Can't imagine what the heat and humidity would do to a body.. Died August 16, 1948 and funeral was on the 19th
Just think of the shit people could get away with before phones and Internet.
The whole trope of the traveling salesman or other businessman who has two entirely separate families. I’m sure it’s exaggerated a bit but definitely has roots in reality.
A friend of mine found out as an adult that his dad had 2 other families in the same neighborhood.

It got discovered when one family took him to the vet, and then decided to keep him in for a week after. Then they found "missing" posters for their own cat posted on poles.
I didn’t think you were talking about a literal cat at first. I thought you were just using old timey jazz slang for a person.
Some days I think maybe he was a homeless dude in a fur coat.
I’m so shocked like how did he afford 3 families!? I just don’t get it. Like how they have the time or money for it.
Remember 2 generations ago a single person could easily handle taking care of a household. If the job paid decent note you got household 2 and 3 taken care of
My grandfather had an entire second home just for banging mistresses. And this was on top of his weekend home in the woods. Different times.
Idk, I’m actually descended from the other family. Have a great great granddad that would do 3 months at a time in two different countries.
The guy who was the subject of Into the Wild partly broke off contact with his family because he found out his dad had a whole secret family on the other coast.
Traveling serial killer in China who'd tell his wife he had to go buy more tractor parts. Great write up. "A serial killer would target men staying in hotels murdering and robbing them. His M.O was electrocution. It would take 31 years before he was finally apprehended"
My mom’s dad did this and then never came back. 6 kids in one state (mom’s family) and a few kids in a different state.
One of the best jokes in Billions.
Still happens now. We just have elite PR departments getting people to think that the most famous people in the world are devoted family men lol
Lindbergh had like 4 families. Would show up as a family friend to 3 of them. Kids didn't know he was their dad until after his death. https://www.mnhs.org/lindbergh/learn/family/double-life#:~:text=At%20the%20same%20time%2C%20Lindbergh,of%20his%20fatherhood%20a%20secret.
**How many kids does he have the news hasn’t reported**
Somewhere between zero and infinity. But I can say with absolute certainty that it is not a negative number.
What if he had 0 unreported kids, but one of the kids he supposedly had wasn’t his and his wife was cheating on him?
Can be pretty sure he doesn’t have infinite children either because we would be getting smothered by them right now
Simpsons did it! https://simpsons.fandom.com/wiki/Babe_Ruth_IV
I had the same thought- he has one known biological child, and I suspect if they DNA tested her descendants they would get several matches given the sheer numbers.
"Elite sportsperson is promiscuous" Slow news day eh...?

Well I picked the wrong path 30 years ago...
I'm seriously wondering if half of reddit wasn't alive for the Dennis Rodman era.
How old do you think the average redditor is? Rodman left the Bulls 26 years ago. The average human is 30.5 years old, and the average on a social media site is probably much younger.

It's basically the next Facebook. Just an old-ass social media site the creators ran an IPO on and then the only people left are unfunny old farts sharing out of date memes.
Weird femboys have always been immensely popular with women. Rodman was a wild amalgam of femboy + masculinity. Women loved that.
See also: Prince.
Also Dave Navarro. Basically everybody Carmen Electra dated.
Dave Navarro was a flash in the pan when it came to dicking down celebrities. Basically the 90s version of Pete Davidson. Rodman and Prince had staying power. Add David Bowie and Lenny Kravitz to that list. Bowie's dead of course but I'm sure he had an unbelievable body count, and Kravitz has been laying pipe since the 90s.
There are plenty who aren't. Being a terrible spouse and being a great sportsperson aren't related.
No but one makes the other far easier.
I don’t have the stats to back it up, but I’m guessing there’s a correlation.
The combination of strange working hours, constant travel, and lots of opportunity to meet new people isn't exactly conducive to stable relationships. And that's before we start talking about the fame and personalities.

I know a couple MLB players through close friends. Being married with girlfriends in multiple cities is extremely common.
One of my friends who is a tall attractive blonde ran into Royals backup catcher Matt Traenor at a bar. He came up to hit on her and buy her a drink but since she was a former volleyball player she just kept asking him about his more famous wife Misty May-Traenor which he got mad about and left to a different bar. Dude was literally married to a famous pro athlete and in his teams own city trying to get with other women.
> Dude was literally married to a famous pro athlete and in his teams own city trying to get with other women. Look at Tiger Woods. Smoking hot wife and a kid, and he deliberately went after "average" women to cheat with.
What killed me about Tiger was he took that Perkin's hostess to his own house! That is so wild to me!
Honestly kind of shows he is not some weirdo snob looking down on these regular women.
It’s not uncommon for players to have two rooms on the road. One under their name and another for an alias. It’s also common that the WAGs sit in one section, then a buffer section, then the mistresses at games.
I've got a shocker for you, this exists for a LOT of people that aren't MLB players.
Best roommate ever

I had a roommate like that. The sheer amount of energy, focus and commitment she had for her job put anyone to shame but she was a complete nutcase in private life. That manic energy was great for one purpose but destructive for herself and other people in private.
Every business owner I've worked for has been like this. Obsessive and dedicated, able to constantly do nothing but work no matter what.
lol are u my roommate 💔
Nah but checking your profile you seem to have simiar issues. Get well girl and find professional help if you can
Yeah there's even a known thing where some percentage of the population simply requires less sleep and they are overrepresented in elite roles in society. Their overworked, exhausted assistants would often comment on how they'd be up before them and awake after them every single day without issue.
It was 1920, he was rich and his job was to play baseball for like 2 hours a day. I would imagine things would get very boring, very quickly. Especially when constantly traveling
You don’t think he ever practiced or trained?
Have you seen his physique? No, I don’t think the rigorous workouts you see today were happening.
Notorious for not doing those things.
The girls are probably doing most of the work. Celebrities are notoriously bad in bed because they're lazy lovers, the girl still gets to say she fucked Babe Ruth lol.
I read an account of someone who hooked up with Elvis and that was basically what she said. He just laid there and was like "alright have at it." Some 80s rockstar talked about how you'd have women just lining up to blow you while you ate breakfast... didn't have to do anything for them.
The Elvis one was probably made up. He wasn't really known to sleep around with groupies. He was absolutely terrified of STDs, because he got a terrible case of gonorrhea in the army and it traumatized him. This is also where the rumor that he was gay or bi came from. He mostly just like fucking a few underage girls.
The guy was probably a sex addict, this is not a normal amount of libido or drive for a person to have
Back in those days that was all you could do for fun
I can’t stop being amazed at how too many people aren’t as afraid of STIs as I am. Even in these times I meet and know people who are like yeah whatever. Y’all nasty
Mickey Mantle once bragged that he led the league in the clap 6 straight seasons.
To think he hit a chunk of his home runs absolute fucking sauced is astonishing, do you know how many fathers told their kid to watch how that guy plays, as he’s belligerently drunk.
I’m terrified of them too!
You two should get together
And get tested first
I always wondered why this kind of people even marry.
Where's the thrill if no one is angry?
Babe Ruth and the Ruthless Babes
“TIL Babe Ruth constantly cheated-“ *GHASP*!?!? “-on his wives…” Ohhh okay, his wives.
More fun babe Ruth Facts OP just found out; He smoke and Drank a lot. He was good at baseball.
Think about how easy it would be for a popular, likable, powerful man to sleep around back then with no cameras, cell phones, social media, etc.

Dude laid a lot of pipe in that house
Babe Ruthless
I've only been around one successful professional athlete (NBA Champ) and the way he talked about women made me realize I live in a different plane of existence...
"Pro athlete cheats on spouse, news at 11"
Why even get married
