Pete Crow-Armstrong Backs Babe Ruth Non-Existence Theory on 2024 Podcast Claim

Summary
Pete Crow-Armstrong said on Kristin Cavallari’s podcast that “Babe Ruth never existed” is a conspiracy theory he likes, offering it when asked for an unpopular opinion.
The Cubs outfielder pointed to a 2024 podcast appearance by Mariners pitcher Tayler Saucedo, who argued Ruth may not have existed because so little game footage survives.
Crow-Armstrong did not say he literally believes the claim; he framed it as an entertaining rabbit hole tied to how much baseball has evolved since Ruth’s era.
Babe Ruth played from 1914 to 1935, before widespread television coverage, and remains one of baseball’s most documented legends with 7 World Series titles and 12 American League home-run crowns.
