Player Biography
Still an American icon decades after his death, George Herman “Babe” Ruth emerged from humble beginnings to become the game’s greatest slugger and gate attraction. Ruth hit home runs at a prodigious rate – his single-season output often exceeded those of entire major league teams. He retired with 714 home runs, at a time when only two other players had reached 300. Reggie Jackson once deflected a comparison to “The Sultan of Swat,” saying, “There will never be another Babe Ruth. He was the greatest home run hitter who ever lived.”
