And you thought LaVar Ball claiming he'd beat Michael Jordan one-on-one was an outrageous boast? Hold my beer, said Adam Ottavino.
"I had an argument with a coach in Triple A about Babe Ruth's effectiveness in today's game," Ottavino, a 33-year-old journeyman pitcher, claimed on an MLB Statcast podcast. "I said, 'Babe Ruth, with that swing, swinging that bat, I got him hitting .140 with eight homers. ... I would strike Babe Ruth out every time.' "
In Babe's defense, though, hitting .140 with eight homers in today's game would be a pretty good showing for a 123-year-old.
