Cricket, Don Bradman, and Babe Ruth

Yesterday was Don Bradman's cenetenary. He was a legend even among the legends of cricket. It is interesting how he and Ruth were quite contemporary, and they both left deep and wonderful marks on the respective games they played. Ruth was born in 1895, and Bradman in 1908. Ruth's final game was in 1935. Bradman played his final test match in 1948.

Every cricket batsman has The Don as the ultimate, as much as The Babe is the ultimate to every Little League kid.
