A_Man walks into a bar. |
|
Bartender:
You can't bring that dog in here. |
|
A_Man:
You don't understand. This is no regular dog. He can talk! |
|
Bartender:
Listen pal, if that dog can talk I'll give you a hundred bucks. |
|
A_Man:
/puts dog on stool |
|
A_Man:
Okay doggie, what's on top of a house? |
|
TheDog:
ROOF! |
|
A_Man:
Right. And what's on the outside of a tree? |
|
TheDog:
BARK! |
|
A_Man:
Right. And who's the greatest baseball player of all time? |
|
TheDog:
RUTH! |
|
A_Man:
I guess you've heard enough. I'll take that hundred in twenties. |
|
Bartender:
Though the historical and cultural significance of Babe Ruth can't be downplayed,
you have to realize that Ruth arrived without precedent. |
|
Bartender:
He played in an era where pitchers had no idea what to do with him, so he hit
homeruns all the time. He was also a media spectacle, calling into question how many
of those homers were legit. |
|
Bartender:
Taking into consideration that they are, you have to assume that pitchers today who
are used to 50 and 60 and 70 homerun seasons would smartly pitch around him... |
|
Bartender:
Unless they could just overpower him, which they could, because today's pitchers
throw a higher variety of pitches at a much higher velocity. Babe had little
technical expertise, and would just swing away. |
|
Bartender:
Babe is a legend and a folk hero, but to suggest that he is an athlete or talent on
par with Willie Mays or Ted Williams is shortsighted at best. |
|
Bartender:
Clearly your dog is a moron and you should get the hell out of here before I belt
you. |

A_Man:
Do you think we should've said "Dimaggio?" |
