I wouldn't have realized you weren't American had I read the parody before your intro. This pretty much describes how I feel about "The Babe" and, since I live 15 miles from Boston, I'm a Red Sox fan. 555

That's very good without knowing about baseball (me either) or the song. But I do know the stars of baseball (some of them). 5's

Another Red Sox fan here, and I like baseball parodies that tell a heartwarming story. Good job.

Not a bad parody, but... and don't take this personally, but a few facts need to be cleared up... The death of Helen Woodford Ruth (1903-1929) death certainly hurt him, because despite all he'd done to upset her, he still had feelings for her. But by 1925 they'd both moved on. His longtime mistress became his second wife, and her name was Claire. Dorothy was the Babe's daughter with yet another woman, and the cover story was that Helen (the first wife) was her real mother. Dorothy Ruth Pirone (1921-1989) wrote "My Dad, the Babe" about her father. Claire Hodgson Ruth (1900-1976) had a daughter, Julia, and she is now the caretaker of the Babe's legacy and image. Julia Ruth Stevens (1917- ) has also written about him, in "Major League Dad." The Yankees, Red Sox and Arizona Diamondbacks (at last checked, she lived in Arizona) have all invited her to throw out ceremonial first pitches. I realize that the birthdates mean that Claire was 17 when Julia was born. Considering her own lifestyle -- she was a "flapper" before the style, let alone the term, came into use in the Roaring Twenties -- it's hardly impossible. But I suspect that Claire may have been lying about her age later on. From youth to old age, she was a piece of work, and may have been behind the supposed rift between Ruth and Lou Gehrig. But she did right by her man. Renee Taylor, mom Sylvia Fine on "The Nanny," did a great job playing Claire in the baseball film "61*."

thanks for the comments i got all my info from the babe ruth website iknow marys death didnt hurt him micheal ,it fits better in the parody (could've said laughed his red sox off ! lol)

Not a funny song, more like a history lesson put into verse. Well written though.

Decided to change the Funny button to well written and it was, 5s

Nice tribute to that one baseball "babe"

(Decathlon) See above.

(Decathlon - Event 1) You think YOU know jack all about baseball...I'm Aussie, mate! I wouldn't have a clue! I don't even know who you're talking about...sort of.

(Decath1) - rolls alonf nicely to the OS, tomario, and being an Aussie like bobpie, I don't get the baseball references, altho I certainly know Babe Ruth - I once went out with a girl called "Ruth Day" (hello Ruth if you're ego-surfing) and if you google her name you keep coming up with a famous annual baseball event - 555

DECATHLON...Learned more about Mister Ruth than I probably ever would have otherwise...nice job!

(DEC1) I'm an Aussie expat in the UK who knows bugger all about baseball, so I've gotta abmire this effoert. 545

(ABC3-P) Matches the tone of TOS well. Kudos for taking on a topic completely foreign to you.

I miss the Decathalon, still 5's

(ABC3P) I miss the Decathlon as well, it gave me a reason to exist :P still a good parody about a topic that neither of us have a clue about (and im my case, don't care about)

(ABC) Not a big baseball fan, but you showed your knowledge of the sport here really well, 555

(ABC3) Sometimes a topic totally foreign to a writer makes for a buried treasure. A lot of research went into this, no doubt. Good job.

(ABC) see above - hard to work out where the initial idea came from here - not the title I suspect but maybe the "hit it like a rocket" line which is a very nice sub tomario (didn't know you were English - nope, no mention of the Ashes here)

Great parody biography, except you didn't say anything about his cursing the Red Sox (lol)----MM

(ABC) See above!

(ABC3P) See above. Great writing totally lost on a baseball philistine like me

(ABC) Wrigley Field? I don't think he was ever a Cub! (I'd know otherwise with all the Cub people in my town!) But other than that, good work.

CAT i think he was playing for another team at wrigley field thanks for all the comments
