I know that these “Lists of the Century” should all be taken with a grain of salt. Marilyn Monroe didn’t even make a recent Internet list of the century’s most beautiful women.
But to not put Babe Ruth at the top of any athlete-of-the-century list is ridiculous. Bill Plaschke was right on the mark with choices one through three. Thanks for writing this article on your day off, Bill.
