Babe Ruth
In watching "Baseball," it occurs to me that Babe Ruth would have had a more difficult go of things if he were playing today.
After all, the Babe...
* went into the stands after a heckling fan
* jumped on top of the dugout on a different occasion and challenged fans to fight him
* punched an umpire
* threw dirt on an umpire
* corked his bat
* was suspended by his manager, Miller Huggins
* was suspended by American League President Ban Johnson
* was suspended by Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis
I ignore his imbibing, his enjoyment of brothels, and his overeating. I think he'd get along with those in today's society just fine.
