Mad Dog Russo recently criticized Chicago Cubs star Pete Crow-Armstrong for his comments on a conspiracy theory that Babe Ruth did not exist. Crow-Armstrong had said that the theory was ‘awesome’ and that it was interesting to consider the idea that Ruth may not have been a real player.

Russo’s Response

Russo, a longtime baseball purist, took issue with Crow-Armstrong’s comments, calling them ‘derogatory’ and saying that they ‘drove me nuts.’ Russo argued that Ruth was one of the greatest players in baseball history and that his achievements on the field cannot be disputed.

Russo pointed out that Ruth hit 27 home runs over 500 feet and that he out-homered entire leagues during his career. He also noted that Ruth would have been a Hall of Famer as a pitcher, in addition to his accomplishments as a hitter.

A Legacy Defended

Russo’s defense of Ruth’s legacy is not surprising, given his reputation as a passionate advocate for the history of the game. However, his criticism of Crow-Armstrong’s comments highlights the ongoing debate about the role of conspiracy theories in sports and the importance of respecting the achievements of legendary players like Ruth.
