I’m sure Hank knew this at one point, but brainwashing and the rewriting of history by the cabal in power continues: It was the Democrats who were most instrumental in filibustering and doing their best to delay the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Republicans were 80% in favor.

Here in the Kingdom of Lies, anything goes.

To: anyone
In regard to the stats. . .

they just said on 1st and ten that a baseball historian did a study of baseball field sizes back then versus now and said that if the stadiums back then were as small as they are now ruth could have hit around 1150 home runs. he had fly outs at 440+ feet . . . . . . . .
Reading the newspaper today, it lists the stats of Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron and Barry Bonds and what it took for each of them to reach 714 home runs.

For Aaron it took 11,291 at-bats, for Bonds it took 9,234 at-bats and for Ruth it took 8,388 at-bats.

Ruth .vs Aaron - it took Hammerin' Hank 2,903 more at-bats to reach 714 than it did for Ruth.

Ruth .vs Bonds - it took Barry another 846 at-bats to reach 714 than it did for Ruth to reach the same mark.

If you average in at-bats per season, it took Aaron another 6 seasons to reach 714 as opposed to what the Babe did doing the same thing.
. . . . . . . .
