Pete Crow-Armstrong Questions Existence of Babe Ruth
Chicago Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong has ignited a peculiar debate by expressing his belief that Babe Ruth never existed. He made this claim during a podcast with Kristin Cavallari, where he acknowledged the idea as unusual yet intriguing.
Crow-Armstrong referenced a discussion by Mariners pitcher Tayler Saucedo, who explored the notion of Ruth's non-existence. He noted the evolution of baseball, suggesting that the game has changed so significantly that players may have once underhanded the ball to Ruth, who is still celebrated as one of the greatest players in history.
The conspiracy theory surrounding Ruth questions the authenticity of visual evidence and historical records. Babe Ruth, known as George Herman Ruth, lived from 1895 to 1948 and is renowned for his achievements as both a pitcher and hitter. Despite Crow-Armstrong's comments aligning him with other athletes who have entertained fringe theories, the historical documentation of Ruth's career remains robust and widely accepted.
