Babe thou never wert. With the baseball playoffs upon us, the strangest conspiracy theory is making its way through the nation’s dugouts By Rich Cohen T his past July, on Kristin Cavallari’s Let’s Be Honest podcast, the Chicago Cubs’ star center fielder, Pete Crow-Armstrong, was asked to share an “unpopular opinion.” His answer: “Babe Ruth never existed.” The man known as “PCA” credited the theory to Tayler Saucedo, then a Seattle Mariners relief pitcher, who reached this conclusion by way of deduction. Saucedo said he’d seen hardly any video of the Babe. If Ruth existed, where’s all the footage? From there, Saucedo reasoned Ruth right out of existence, consigning him to the same category as Bigfoot, a figment of the collective unconscious.

The Padres face the league’s winningest team in the Division Series, but don’t call them underdogs. It seemed unlikely the Padres would ever make it this far. They closed out June with an eight-game losing streak and limped into the All-Star break with a .500 record. That’s something of a death sentence in the NL […]

Starting the season 9-19 had a lot of us calling for the end of the Rob Thomson era, if only because it might wake up the players sleepwalking through another long 162-game season.

How the news of ForBets works
Where the stories come from, how your feed is made and how to get an alert, with the terms of the news pages.
The stories are collected from the news sources of the sports we cover, and each one says where it comes from. For some of them only the opening and a link to the original are shown: the full text is read on the site of the publisher, who owns it.
News has three tabs. Your feed shows the stories of the sports you follow, Discover shows every sport, and Saved holds the stories you kept to read later. You can search by headline or topic, narrow the list to one sport, and mark everything as read.
Yes. In your account, under Sports & alerts, choose the sports you follow and how you want to hear about each one: in the app, by push or by email. The bell in the header collects the new stories of your sports and the new picks of the analysts you follow.
News is for reading and does not recommend bets. For picks, open the list of matches and compare the analysts by their records. The two are kept apart on purpose: a story is a report, and a pick is an opinion that its author answers for.
