Babe Ruth
1914 - 1935
2503 games, 714 home runs, .342 batting average
"The Bambino" (or
"The Sultan of Swat") is regarded by most as the greatest
baseball player of all time and was one of the original five players
first named to the Baseball Hall of Fame. The Babe was the first
to hit 50 home runs in a season and his 60 home run season record
stood for 34 years until Roger Maris
broke it in 1961. Ruth was also one of the games best left handed
pitchers until converting full time to the outfield in 1919 while
still with the Boston Red Sox. |
