Babe Ruth's own daughter compares Pwnings to the Bambino(!!)

"He's hitting the way daddy used to hit," says Stevens, the daughter of Babe Ruth, who watched the game on TV from her Phoenix-area home. "Daddy was very proud of his pitching record, but of course, he hit too well to stay as a pitcher. I think he could have gone into the Hall of Fame either way."

Dude,

You live to 90 you are allowed to call your father “Daddy”.

You are also allowed to punch people in the face with no repercussions. (Cause really, who could you hurt?)

But

she could probably go hit the kid a HR after flipping them off.

Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.

Legally blind now…Stevens remains an avid baseball fan and occasionally attends an Arizona Diamondbacks game at Chase Field. “I don’t know where the ball is going when it gets hit,” she said, “but I can tell what happens by the sound of the crowd. I can tell if it’s a hit or an out.” Stevens said that when she’s in Arizona, she roots for the D-Backs. But when she returns to her summer home in New Hampshire every May, she becomes an ardent Red Sox fan. Not the Yankees? “Goodness sakes alive,” she said. “I was a Yankees fan all those years Daddy played for them.”
