BABE RUTH EXHUMED TO PROVE SUPERIORITY TO BONDS


BONDS' STEROID CREAM ADMINISTERED TO "BAMBINO'S" REMAINS, THE "SULTAN OF SWAT" HITS ONE OUT OF PARK

NEW YORK - At the direction of Babe Ruth's grandson Les Ruth, the "Bambino's" body was exhumed in a private ceremony at Yankee Stadium today, and the anabolic steroid that Barry Bonds admits having used was administered to the former Yankee great's badly decomposed remains.

Seconds after the liquid substance that Bonds refers to as "the cream" was dabbed on the the skull of what-is-left-of-Ruth, the Sultan of Swat rose from his gurney, grabbed a bat and assumed his familiar stance at home plate. Yankee fastballer Randy Johnson heaved one in the strike zone, and Ruth's remains let loose a ferocious swing, sending the ball on a 570 foot journey out of the park. Ruth rounded the bases, then quickly tuckered out and was returned to his casket.

Les Ruth summed up the feelings of the stunned witnesses. "Just imagine what the Babe would do with that 'cream' if his body was intact."
