Albert Pujols 14, Kansas City Royals 13

Outhomering an entire team for the month

:monsters-



Where is Steve Balboni when you need him? Willie Mays Aikens?

:lolBIG: That's great!!!

The young man is an absolutely incredible talent. Enjoy watching him whenever St.Louis is on the tube. Brillantly balanced at the plate. His career numbers are already scary. Hope he has a long and healthy career. Nice person as well.

I can't believe just how consistent he's been, five identical seasons so far.

sick numbers

Look at his at bat totals and BA. , almost exactly the same 5 straight years....and the true mark of maturity, his K's going down while his walks are going up...he only K'd 65 times last year!

KC would have tied him tonight, Reggie Sanders had a grand slam in the 1st inning of their game that got rained out.

Typical Royals luck rained out in the 3rd up 6-1

This is evidence of how incredible BABE RUTH was.

I believe one year he hit more home runs than EVERY team in the majors!!

Think about that!!!

After the Red Sox sold him to the Yanks ...

When the Babe retired at 714 only two players had 300 or more HRs, Hornsby 300 and Gehrig 378.

He will always be the greatest baseball player.

Babe Ruth in 1919 broke the Homerun record with 29, his last year with the Redsox - The rest of the team hit 4 - Ruth that year hit 87% of his teams HR's -
unmatched

another thing folks forget about Ruth:

1916 / 1917

650 innings pitched
1.75 / 2.01 ERA
47 wins / 25 losses
allowed TWO home runs

thanks doc that is interesting - only 2 home runs

of course he only allowed 2 home runs.. didnt have to pitch to himself.

Amazing stuff here on the BABE.

29 consecutive scoreless innings pitched in the World Series ....

*** off the field: 8 cases of beer consumed before he hit home run #700

:lolBIG: That guy was something else. Hard to believe how much better he was than everybody else of his time.

and Ty Cobb ...

now there was a guy with a lot of "respect" from his peers

If I recall maybe one guy showed up at his funeral
