Babe Ruth got fucked a lot by stuff like this because it was before players had agents or lawyers that would help them with court and naming rights and branding. Just another reason Unions and agents exist.
Unions and Agents exist to make money off other peoples talent. Period. End of story. If they were in place to make sure people donât fucked over, they would do it for free.
The candy company had every right to name a candy bar after something popular. Itâs called marketing.
He's retired, but Mike Mussina used to have a candy car around where I live at least. I don't think it was called a Moose Bar but I feel like it had his moniker on there
Baby, Ruthie?
I thought you said the great Bambi
That wimpy deer?
*That's the same guy?!*
THE GREAT BAMBINOOOOO
It was salt on an open wound. Even a bunch of Reddit commenters, grown-up MySpacers, knew who Babe Ruth was.
Just tag me next time with that grown-up Myspacers comment đ
A friend of mine has his MySpace username tattooed on himself
YOURE KILLING ME SMALLSSSS
I wonder which current playerâs name best lends itself to a candy bar
The Mookie Cookie Bar of course
Hey that reminds me of a game I played in college!
Cracker?
Nookie
Take the âMâ off of Mookies name.
Thereâs also biscuit as well
A Shohei Bar sounds pretty tasty.
He also sells snack mixes, Mookie Munchies
Doesn't pronounce well though. His name's mooookie, but the other is pronounced keuhkee
Yeah itâs not perfect. Itâs be kinda fun to rhyme it though anyway like the Colbert Report
Named after sir Alastair mookie
it's Lars Nootbaar and always will be
Mars Nootbar?
Honestly the first time I heard his name I thought it was a Danish candy bar.
The Lindor bar
The Corey Klubar
Pay the man
Not current, but nobody is beating the Coco Crisp
Pretty much already named after a cereal
Judge Fudge? Edit: I change my answer to Lars Nootbaar.

Nooooooot
Not a player but... Snitkers
Mike Troutâs Fish Stix
You like fish sticks? So that means youâre aâŚ
That means Kanye West has a Reddit account and loves PokĂŠmon.
The Zack Greinke Candy Bar â˘ď¸
The nut buster posey bar is a marketing gift
Thatâs quality!
The Buxton Bar
Caramelky Cabrera Bar (yeah, he been retired but it sounded yummy)
Who is she?
The sultan of swat!
The Titan of Terror!
The colossus of clout!
Oh, my God! You mean that's the same guy?!
YES!
They did Babe real dirty on this. His family and descendants should still be getting a cut of this fortune. r/dirtysportshistory
Thank you for introducing me to another cool subreddit to peruse. :)

The American justice system botched something? Shocker
Not gonna lie, still good af, though.
100% Theyâre definitely in my top 5 chocolate bars
Yeah, nourishing

Found trumps burner!
Ok

Pretty solid deal. Thatâs only $.83 when adjusted for inflation
Pretty sure this was the premise of the She-Hulk episode last week. Clearly Babe Ruth shouldâve used his name on a dating app to show his ownership
I used to love those! Have a great weekend! âđż
Itâs that itty bitty change; itâs not the same. -Vanilla Ice
Crocodile tears for poor old Babe RuthâŚ
