The fact that Barry Bonds with Roger Clemens have not entered the MLB Hall of Fame has caused quite a heated debate in the baseball world, with arguments for and against that these players, along with others who are involved in the problem of prohibited substances and other entanglements of a personal nature, may enter Cooperstownwith some pointing to the “hypocrisy” of voters in maintaining “neatness” of the museum when there are many problematic figures in the Hall of Fame.
One of the most contentious critiques of the Bonds Hall of Fame argument came from Justin Verlander’s brother, Ben, who now works as a broadcaster at Fox Sports. The younger Verlander dropped a bombshell on his Twitter account, where he accuses Hall of Fame voters of false morality by having Babe Ruth in Cooperstown despite “allegedly” murdering the wife of he.
I woke up today thinking about how Babe Ruth set his own wife on fire and yet the moral guardians are keeping Barry Bonds, the greatest hitter of all time, out of the Hall of Fame.
Verlander later mentioned in his tweet that the Babe Ruth story is “allegedly” that he did it, echoing assumptions and theories that the Bambino’s first wife, Helen Ruth, was killed by the player himself.
Helen Ruth died in a freak fire in January 1929 at her Massachusetts apartment. At the start of the fire investigations, Helen Ruth had been misidentified as Helen Kinder, wife of the building owner. The Bambino and Helen had separated in 1922 and it seems that Ruth caused the fire that killed his ex-wife in revenge.
