    Ruth was actually pretty fast. He also wasn't fat until later in his career. The dude was a legit stud athlete and he stole a lot of bases. He also wasn't the pull hitter he seems to be here. He hit to all fields consistently.

    This is how I've felt my entire life as a Cubs fan. Somehow they always find a way to lose. An even when they win they cut it close.

    Random guy : yo what brand of shoes are those Babe Ruth: oh it’s called the Abraham Lincoln 1s
  • @mashokaise6881
    He was so versitile! He changed so much in his first three teams! When he got to the Yankees he was in god mode and he took it all the way. The other guys with him. . . Murderers row would be nasty today!
  • @YaoMingtheGOAT
    he ran on a diet of beers and woman and still hit 60 hrs in a season
  • If babe Ruth played today he would still have been the greatest of all time think about it like really think about. He would have adapted and would have grown up playing the game how it’s played today that is why people say you can’t take a guy out of the era because you have to play based on the style of game in its era same for ohtani it’s vice versa you really would never be able to tell unless the guy was born in todays era also that’s not to mention steroids could be at play too if babe was born today just imagine how many homers he would have hit.

    Before some people comment on if Ruth could play today all i ask is if you go outside and swing a 50 ounce bat and than imaging hitting 500 foot homeruns during the deadball era . The guy was kinda strong .

    In reality if Babe Ruth played today he would be Kyle Schwarber

    Also, Ruth's bat was almost 50 oz. What would he do with say a 38 oz. He most likely would still hit 70 hr and bat 400. Several hundred of him flying out would now easily clear the fence.

    Far more often Ruth's homers went out to the power alley in right center (429 feet) or center (490). Left center, the original Death Valley, was 470 feet from home plate, and Jenkinson's research shows Ruth often hit fly balls in that direction because he was usually pitched that way. Loud outs, those usually were. Best case, they padded his career triples total of 136, or a whopping 59 more than the once-speedy Bonds has. "I really want people to know how often this happened," Jenkinson says. "It was a regular occurrence." Here's another nugget: Bonds has hit 35 homers of 450-plus feet, all but three since Opening Day 2000. And those three, Jenkinson says, all were wind-aided according to government data. Ruth? He hit at least 245 balls of 450 feet or more, by Jenkinson's count. Jimmie Foxx is a distant second at 115. "As a power hitter Ruth just dwarfs everyone in the history of baseball," Jenkinson says. "There's nobody even close. As great as we believe him to have been, he was even better."
