Hard going. But I love the stories of how the Babe, dying of cancer, went out to Hollywood as a consultant on the film and was apparently ogling some of the stars, saying if he were just a little better...

The John Goodman one was better, but still didn't fly. (You know you're in trouble when you have to lose weight to play the Babe Ruth Story). Might work better as a TV limited series these days...

AT LEAST BENDIX HAD A HALF-DECENT SWING.

GOODMAN'S SWING WAS SO HORRIFIC, AND UNREALISTIC AS A BALLPLAYER, THAT AFTER I SAW IT, I JUST TURNED OFF THE SET.

IF YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE A MOVIE ABOUT THE GREATEST BALLPLAYER THAT EVER LIVED, SHOULDN'T THE ACTOR HAVE A GOOD SWING?

Was that Bit or the impostor?

My head reels. The daily hangovers don't help.

Happiness is all i see now I never thought that I will be cured from HERPES virus again. I have been suffering from a deadly disease (HERPES) for the past 3 years now, I had spent a lot of money going from one places to another, from churches to churches, hospitals have been my home every day residence. Constant checks up have been my hobby not until this faithful day, I was searching through the internet, I saw a testimony on how DR agaba helped someone in curing his HERPES disease, quickly I copied his email which is Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com just to give him a test I spoke to him, he asked me to do some certain things which I did, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal cure to me, which he did, then he asked me to go for medical checkup after some days after using the herbal cure, behold I was free from the deadly disease, he only asked me to post the testimony through the whole world, faithfully am doing it now, please brothers and sisters, he is great, I owe him in return. if you are having a similar problem just email him on : Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com or WhatApp: +2349074536486
