Default Re: There are no Heroes in Poker: Another Reason the Boom is Over

Babe Ruth was a baseball hero because of the amount of home runs he hit and his outgoing lifestyle.

If somebody won a comparable % of their tourneys in this present time as Stu Ungar did with an outgoing personality such as Mike Matasow has, what's the difference between them and Babe Ruth?

Heroes don't need to be role models, do they? Jordan, Wilt, The Babe, Dimaggio, they were certainly far from perfect.
