you could also say the same for baseball....does john kruk bring back any memories?, or what about that fat tub of goo c.c. sabathia?? these guys are fat slobs who had either good hand/eye coordination or a very good pitching arm. there are different types of athletes. tiger has forced many PGA players to get better physically due to his workout regimen, but tiger is an athlete make no mistake about it, and is by far the most mentally tough out there at this point.

true...you don't have to be very athletic to be a succesful pitcher or DH for that matter....but its far more common for golf...any "sport" where you can smoke while you're playing and still be successful just loses its credibility as a true sport to me...and I LOVE to golf...and really wish i had the time (and money) to play...its been way too long

david wells used to smoke a pack a game.

I'm pretty sure half the NBA smokes -- and a good percentage of the players do it during games. But those "smokes" don't come in packs...

He's more dominant in his sport than anyone has ever been.

Babe Ruth

Done

I agree Babe Ruth was more dominant. Here's what I pose to you though: which is more impressive, Babe Ruth dominating the way he did over the lower level of competition at the time or Tiger dominating the way he does over an greatly increased level of competition?

I honestly have to think about it.

It's debatable whether the level of competition was that much lower. There were much fewer teams then, and more people played baseball. I know there weren't Latino's and Black ball players, but as I said, the talent pool among white players was probably higher. Also, there aren't many Black players playing baseball now (The lowest percentage since the 50's) and I think that has cut down on the current talent pool as well. Fortunately, Latin players and Japanese players have somewhat made up for the difference. I do wish more Black kids would play baseball but the NBA seems to have a strangle hold on that department.

debatable? come no man you see those pitches in the old time video's they have a hump in them and it wasnt a curve!

What is interesting is that he tore his ACL last year...
...and it is more than likely the resultant instability which led to the repetitive trauma to his tibia.

bingo.

we have a winner.

and his swing puts a TON of stress on that knee as he drives up and thru.

I don't understand your first sentence. And I know, football is totally different. Bob Feller played in the 1940's and 50's and threw the ball over 100 mph. Many people were alive then who saw Walter Johnson pitch and they debated then who threw harder. So don't tell me Babe Ruth didn't face tough competition.
