Babe Ruth was an American original, baseball's first great
slugger and the most celebrated athlete of his time. The
southpaw hurler debuted with the Red Sox, winning 89 games
in six years while setting the World Series record for
consecutive scoreless innings. The Sultan of Swat converted
to the outfield full-time after his sale to the Yankees in
1920 and led New York to seven American League pennants and
four World Series titles. He finished with 714 home runs,
leading the league 12 times, including a remarkable 60
round-trippers in 1927. |
