Babe Ruth's name should have an asterisk next to it in all of the record books because he played in a "Whites Only" League.

Some would say Ruth wasn't white...


Yep. Came in here to say that.

Ty Cobb refused to room with him on all-star tours because he believed the rumors. Probably a good thing Ruth was a superstar, or Landis might have banned him from baseball (either on trumped up allegations or openly using the color line).

"Isn't it possible that had Ruth been their lone black opponent?"

Spike Lee proposed digging up his bones for a DNA test.

Ruth did endure racial epithets during his playing days.

Whether Ruth is black or white or both is irrelevant to my point.

I'll go along with this, but only if we bury Spike Lee

That's dumb. Why not just test his known descendants?
