Is it Possible for a MLB Player not to know of Babe Ruth? (1 Viewer)

[Pots]

Me and a friend were having a debate on the likelihood of any current major league player not knowing who Babe Ruth is. One of us feels that it's probable that there is at least a couple players out there that don't know who he is as it's not a necessary knowledge to play the game. Another thinks it's impossible to be at the professional level and not know who he is and what he did. What say you?

The Sultan of Swat? Never.

Manny has no idea who Babe is.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Absolutely possible. Especially with young kids from other countries. Lots of players in all sports are unaware of history.

possible or probable?

possible or probable?

I'll open the interpretation to probable as anything is possible.

I would say it's 75-25 against Puig knowing who The Babe was.

 

[Arizona Ron]

Absolutely possible. Especially with young kids from other countries. Lots of players in all sports are unaware of history.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Some are more likely to know of the candy bar.

Jose Fernandez can't even remember his coaches' names. Definitely possible.
