Blog 50 - Famous Person

If I could meet anyone, I would like to meet Babe Ruth.  Babe Ruth started his career playing for the Boston Red Sox and was then traded to the New York Yankees.  He is one of the most famous baseball players to ever play and he set the standard for baseball.  He set many records and was popular among many people.  He also played in a time where players did not use performance enhancing drugs and he had to work hard in order to achieve his goals.  I always wonder what these players from the past would think about the players who play today.  Would they consider it cheating or would they consider it just another part of the game.  Baseball was a different sport back when these athletes played.  There were not nearly as many safety regulations and players did not even wear helmets while hitting.  Having played baseball, I have an appreciation for these players and I think it would be interesting to meet them.  This was also a time where players were not paid millions to play and it was not all about the money.  I also think it would be interesting to meet one of our founding fathers who helped shape our country.  I would like to be able to meet George Washington.  It would be fascinating to see the first president of our country and see what he was like.  I would like to see why he was so famous and what separated him from the presidents who followed him.  It would also be interesting to see what he thinks about our country now and if that is how he thought it would end up.
