R.I.P.-ped: Ivy League computer ranks Babe Ruth as worst dead guy


Yankee fans are mourning a computer ranking released by researchers at Penn that say Babe Ruth of the New York Yankees is the worst dead person in history.

Jesus of the Nazarene Nine came in as best dead person, followed by Lazarus, Jimmy Hoffa and D.B. Cooper.

Researchers said if Ruth was any kind of decent dead person, he'd show more range by appearing in toast, having a statue produce tears or showing up in the reality TV show "Ghost Hunters."

"We were surprised by the results," said lead researcher Theodore Williams. "One would have thought Ruth would have made a better dead guy. But he didn't."

    You can spin it any way you want, Suzie, but the stats don't lie.

    I'm sorry. As a Yankee fan, it hurts to see another icon go down. But the dead Bambino quit on us 20 years ago, after the Hank Aaron thing.

    Look what happened with his Curse.

    Yep. The eggheads got this one right.
