They brought up the fact on the radio a couple weeks ago that when Babe Ruth was playing, he did all manner of illegal things, like drinking (illegal then) and a hooker here and there. Plus, remember that way back then, cocaine was still in Coca Cola and completely legal. Babe could have been having a Coke in the dugout and getting high at the same time. (Not that I think any of these arguments are really that good, just bringing them up to point out the illegal/legal part.)

The thing I don't understand is why people have been making a big deal about him beating Babe Ruth. Didn't Hank Aaron do that like 25 years ago?
