In 1938, it was well publicized that Babe Ruth earned $80,000.00, which was substantially more than President Hoover. Reportedly when questioned as to how he could justify earning more than the President, Ruth replied "I had a better year".
Interestingly, Hoover lost the 1932 election and was not President in 1938.
Also, Ruth retired in 1935.
Perhaps not all information on the internet is trustworthy. (I think the actual year was 1930 or 1931).

I do have a sense of humor, what you were doing wasn't funny, it was annoying.

PakRat, I totally agree with you. 96RedSE5Sp, stop being an idiot. He didn't post it so you could find everything wrong w/ it. Go do something more productive, like kicking your own ass.

Sounds like that would be more destructive than productive. I think he should look up some more facts.

White people love Wayne Brady because he makes Bryant Gumbel look like Malcolm X.

I enjoyed his anal-retentive Internet research, but then again it also sounded like something I'd do myself.
