PaperAirplane31 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 In 1918 Ruth started to refuse to pitch in his place in the rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazz013 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 5. World War I. With rosters depleted because of the war, Ruth saw action as both a pitcher and outfielder; the latter made him the home run hitter he would become. After the players returned, Ruth became bigger than the team because he no longer wanted to pitch and his home runs were the talk of baseball.4. Ban Johnson. The president of the American League since its debut in 1901 effectively limited Frazee to the Yankees and White Sox as the only teams with whom Frazee could make a deal by pressuring the other five teams (the Cleveland Indians, Detroit Tigers, Philadelphia Athletics, St. Louis Browns and Washington Senators) not to make any trades with Frazee.3. Babe Ruth's antics. He often spent evenings out in bars, often drunk only hours before games. He also jumped the team several times, the final straw being in the final game of the 1919 season.2. Ed Barrow. Frazee's right-hand man, Barrow served as general manager and field manager and knew how much of a troublemaker Ruth was. When Frazee wanted to send Ruth to the Yankees, Barrow, for reasons unknown, said the Yankees didn't have any players he wanted. In a bizarre twist of fate, a month after the Ruth sale, Barrow re-emerged as the general manager of the Yankees and built the team to World Champions by 1923 by acquiring as many as seven players from the Red Sox (four of whom had won the World Series in Boston in 1918).1. Babe Ruth's holdout. Ruth forced Frazee's hand by holding out after the 1919 season, demanding $20,000 per year—twice as much as he had been making during the season. During the holdout, he planned other ventures, such as becoming a boxer and going into acting. Frazee was upset over the holdout because he had given Ruth bonuses after both the 1918 and 1919 seasons. With Ruth's demands so high and after several occasions in which Ruth had already jumped the team, Frazee felt he had no choice but to ship Ruth out. Save the slugalo.

Fred T. Jane Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 here's one, Top Five Reasons you can't blame...........Bill Wirtz for being an incompetent owner. No. 5- Who thought Theo Fleury wouldn't play like he did in Calgary?No. 4- They had to build a Championship team whilst playing in a division with powers like the Red Wings, Blues... and Blue Jackets. No. 3- It's not their fault the Wolves are so gosh-darn good.No. 2- The 'Hawks are bad enough that no one would watch them on TV anywayNo. 1- He's stuck in a Time Machine somewhere in the 1950s... [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

Roger Clemente Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Top 5 reasons you cant blame Bill Buckner for the 1986 World Series. 1. The Red Sox were one strike away from winning in Game 6.2. The Red Sox were one strike away from winning twice in Game 6.3. The Red Sox were one strike away from winning three times in Game 6.4. The wild pitch that moved Ray Knight to second, if caught, may have prevented him from scoring on the last play.5. There was still Game 7.--Roger "Time?" Clemente.

slapshot Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Top 5 Reasons you can't blame the refs for the result of Super Bowl XL. actually, you can. i do, and so do most seahawks fans. Really? The refs didn't play offense or defense. The score is out of their control.I guess it's too much of the Seahakws and their fans to accept responsibility for their inability to beat the Steelers.
