New York Yankees relief pitcher Adam Ottavino would “strike Babe Ruth out every time.” Of course, this is all speculation. It’s simply the newest Yankee employee’s opinion.
The righty arm who recently signed a three-year, $27 million deal made this controversial comment on a recent MLB.com podcast.
“I would strike Babe Ruth out every time,’’ Ottavino claimed, adding that he meant no disrespect to the greatest Yankee of all-timme. “It was just a different game’’ back then.
After little time that allowed the ballsy comment to go viral, Ottavino backpedaled quicker than Darrelle Revis in his prime prior to his break on the opposing team’s No.
