To answer your question, I’m 65 and no, Babe Ruth didn’t hit 1,000 home runs.
In 1927, Babe Ruth set the first truly long-term single season home run standard. However, his first Major League home run record was established during the 1919 season when he connected a then unbelievable twenty-nine (29) times with the Boston Red Sox. The 1919 plateau was considered at the time an "unreachable mark" until the following year when the Bambino smashed his own record by going deep fifty-four (54) times—then beat that record just one year later when he went deep fifty-nine (59) times. A few seasons passed and the 1920 record seemed safe until 1927, when the Sultan of Swat blasted sixty (60) long balls (details below) in just one-hundred fifty-five (155) games.
The all-time career record for home runs in a professional career is held by Japan's Sadaharu Oh with 868. In Major League Baseball, the record is 755, held by Hank Aaron since 1974. Only three other major league players have hit as many as 600: Barry Bonds (719), Babe Ruth (714), and Willie Mays (660). The single season record is 73, set by Barry Bonds in 2001. ***** League slugger Josh Gibson's baseball hall of fame plaque says he hit "almost 800" home runs in his career.

Nope, he hit 714 regular season home runs. Now if you count exhibition games, pre-season games, world series and minor league games he just might have hit a total of 1,000, but there is really no way to verify that.
