    There are a lot of parallels between the two for sure because that's similar to how Montana's first two Super Bowls were. It's kind of odd. Brady was in the stands as a 4 year old when Montana and the 49ers beat the Cowboys in The Catch game. I enjoy watching both play. And then Montana gets Rice and Brady gets Gronk and then they launch a second half of their career mini-dynasty.

    I'd probably end up with Tommy John if I threw BP that much.

    “Some 20 years ago, I stopped talking about the Babe for the simple reason that I realized that those who had never seen him didn't believe me.”
    - Tommy Holmes (sportswriter)

    “No one hit home runs the way Babe did. They were something special. They were like homing pigeons. The ball would leave the bat, pause briefly, suddenly gain its bearings then take off for the stands.”
    - Lefty Gomez (teammate)

    “To understand him (Babe) you had to understand this: he wasn't human.”
    - Joe Dugan (teammate)

    “If I'd tried for them dinky singles I could've batted around six hundred.”
    - Babe Ruth

    The Montana/Brady, Ruth/Bonds thing is sort of like Jim Brown and guys like Emmitt Smith.

    I'm pretty sure as a player Brown was better. But by his choice he didn't play for a long time even though he could have. Smith has the better numbers. As does Walter Payton who I believe was also better than Smith too.

    And I'll say Sandy Koufax had the best stuff I have ever seen on film. But he only had a six year peak and retired at 30.

    I mentioned in an earlier post Galarraga was my personal favorite player ever. Here's a video of him in the Florida Marlins stadium hitting arguably the furthest homerun ever. MLB initially ruled it was 585ft but later changed it to less than Mantle's 565ft homerun. Personally I believe the change was made to keep Mantle in the record books but who knows. All I know is watching that video it's easy to tell it's one of the furthest homeruns ever hit.

    Edit: https://www.mlb.com/cut4/andres-gala...ami-c281243076 It was estimated initially at 579ft.

    I remember when he was with the Braves and going through his cancer treatments my little boy would pray for him every night.

    Remind me how many games Bonds won pitching? And Babe hit his bombs in the dead ball era without diluted pitching and he wasn't on drugs.

    Also, the mound was higher and only 8 AL teams, so pitching wasn't diluted. Plus the Babe was a hell of a pitcher.

    You can pitch to Trout. Not Bonds
    Bonds was only like that for about 3 years extremely roided up. Most of his career was not as good as Trout. I would put Griffey Jr ahead of non roided Bonds. Bonds also lost what made him one of the best all around players in baseball by gaining all the weight. He was one of the few to chase the 40-40 club on a consistent basis.

    Roids will help increase bat speed.
    Which would also help batting average.

    We will see how well Brady does at Tampa. Montana went to KC and made them good.

    ETA: Gun ... I enjoy giving you a hard time cause you make it so easy haha.
    Brady also had Gronk who is maybe the hardest receiver to cover in the last 20 years and had a good to great Randy Moss.

    And he had Wes Welker who is maybe the greatest slot receiver of all time.
