But this is the point i want to make: when you talk about steroids and you talk about what it means to the game, the three greatest home run hitters of all time-hank aaron, babe ruth and willie mays, right? when they were 39 years old, how many home runs do you think they averaged? the three greatest home run hitters of all time averaged 18 home runs at age 39. now, how many home runs did barry bonds hit when he was 39? he hit 73!

More From Carlton Fisk

I can't believe that babe ruth was a better player than willie mays. (babe) ruth is to baseball what arnold palmer is to golf. he got the game moving. but i can't believe he could run as well as (willie) mays, and i can't believe he was any better an outfielder.
Baseball Running Believe
I think it's incredible because there were guys like (willie) mays and (mickey) mantle and henry aaron who were great players for ten years... i only had four or five good years.

A-rod wants to be like babe ruth. and people don't realize this, he's a lot like babe ruth. before the playoffs a couple of years ago, a-rod went to the hospital and promised a dying kid he'd ground out to second for him.

Willie mays was the best ever. when i was in college i once made a catch like the one mays made over his head. sometimes when i'm lying in bed at night i think about it. it still makes me warm.

Wandering around back stage at a willie nelson concert is a bit like being the parrot on the shoulder of the guy who's running the ferris wheel. it's not the best seat in the house, but you see enough lights, action, people, and confusion to make you wonder if anybody knows what the hell's going on. if you're sitting out front, of course, it all rolls along as smoothly as a german train schedule, but as willie, like any great magician, would be the first to point out, the real show is never in the center ring. as willie always says, fortunately, we're not in control.
Running Real Light
If you want to know who was better, me or willie mays, you have to look at our career stats. and willie's bottom line was better.

Never root for a team whose uniforms have elastic stretch waistbands.
Baseball Team Roots
Once upon a time, growing up male gave little boys a sense of certainty about the natural order of things. we had short hair, wore pants, and played baseball. girls had long hair, wore skirts, and, no matter how hard they tried, always threw a baseball just like a girl.

You can have the best team in baseball, and if nobody goes through the turnstiles, you've got to shut the doors down.
