"Judge catches Babe Ruth"

After 95 years Ruth is still news. Gives me chills, in a way. One of the top reasons I love this game.

A guy that big & athletic would be hitting 525 foot moonshots regularly, not 410 foot fly balls.
We saw that with Mac, Sosa, and Bonds.
When those guys were juiced, a third of their homeruns left the whole building. And, some of Sosa's Wrigley homers took 6 seconds to come down, they were hit so high.
Also, his strikeout numbers haven't come down, so he's still having to swing qt the same % of full as he used to.
I'm rooting for him & couldn't care less about the Yankees.
