Yes, and just a little when he first got on with the Yankees.

Red Sox's is correct , then Babe was sold to the Yankees 1920.

Bostons Red Sox never won a World Series until 2 yrs ago - it was the

curse of the Bambino (Babe).

This is incorrect. He did, in fact, play for the Orioles.



"At the age of 19, Ruth was spotted by Jack Dunn, owner of the Baltimore Orioles of the International League, who signed him to his first professional contract. Ruth's parents had given custody of the boy to the Jesuits at the time he enrolled at St. Mary's, where he was supposed to remain until he turned 21. To complete the contract and remove him from the school, Dunn was forced to adopt him. This led to Ruth's being described as Dunn's "baby," which became "Babe," the nickname the stayed with him for the rest of his life."

Thanks for the info - I went to look it up in Sports Almanac - nothing was mentioned about the Orioles. I did ask my husband where the "Babe" came from.??

Patsy

Maybe a lot of places just "negate" it because he wasn't there for

a full season, even, I dunno.



Come on, someone, jump in here with a new question!!

Chicago Bulls?

Chicago Bulls - wrong

Patsy

YGZI- ask your brother

Lakers? I figured if the bulls were wrong this would be the next guess.

My brother just happened in the other day. I have to do this on my own. He is the NBA guy.

Lakers - correct YZGI

Question - How many games was that winning streak?

Patsy

Okay lets see, They play 62 games so the number must be between 1-62. Just a wild guess here, I cant imagine them winning over half of their games in a row. So I am going out on a limb and saying it is under 31 games. I will go with hmmm 22.

Great system - wrong

Patsy

How many games for that winning streak - any guess's - Laker's????

do with more high scorers like that!!

Oh how I hate Pittsburgh...

I am so glad they lost...

They are our division rivals so every loss is another step toward winning the AFC North and a guaranteed spot in the playoffs...

That, and I just hate them fiercely...

Did I mention, that I hate the Steelers?
