Someone says: Babe ruth is better than bonds because back in the day there were fewer teams.

I respond "back in the day, there were NO hispanic or black players in the league either. so stop with that. if your going to use the back in the day arguement present both sides. "

Moron Resonds "Why does someone always have to bring up the race issue. "


OK, edited to try and help with context.

you mention 'presenting both sides'. I think it would clear things up if you explain what the other side was.

wtf's a 4th person reference?

Referring to someone else: So this guy I was talking to said he knew someone who said...

Referring to yourself: So this guy that knows X said that X said... (where X is your name)

<-- confused, why did you bring up race for?

 

[piku]

I don't get why there being fewer teams would make Babe Ruth better. Shouldn't more teams = more players = larger talent pool to compete against?

 

[Miramonti]

Its a moot argument.

Just because there weren't minorities doesn't mean he couldn't have performed as well against them, even if it increased the overall talent level.

the theory is that less teams means harder to become a player in the league, more teams = more watered down.
