One of the greatest baseball players of all time... his contract was bought from the Boston Red Sox by the New York Yankees and this is what led to the Red Sox curse...

Answer 3

Wow ! we have just recieved a confirmation of the existance of life on other planets and they don't know about baseball. Now when they are among us we will have a way of determining the Earthlings from the aliens. Oh pardon me ,I forgot that trick was used in WW2

Babe Ruth was the greatest baseball player that ever lived. Period, end of story.

Answer 4

He was a big kid that turned into an alcoholic, cigar chomping, baseball machine that ended up wearing pinstripes and cursing the Boston Red Sox for 84 years. There are some that argue he was the best baseball player of all time, putting up unreal statistics, especially for an overweight party-goer. He hit 714 homeruns, drove in 2217 runs, and set a seemingly unbreakable standard for slugging. He was also an accomplished pitcher, which is extremely rare for a hitter.

Answer 5

Are you an idiot!!!!! Babe Ruth is widely viewed as one of the great, if not greatest, players to ever play the game of baseball.

Answer 6

He is the man who spawned the Curse of the Bambino. The man who pointed to the CF bleachers and next pitch drove a Home Rin to exactly where he pointed. A truly great player and was part on the initial Hall of Fame class.

Answer 7

George Herman Ruth, Jr. (February 6, 1895 – August 16, 1948), also known as "Babe", "The Great Bambino", "The Sultan of Swat", "The Colossus of Clout", and "The King Of Crash", was an American Major League baseball player from 1914-1935.

Although he spent most of his career as an outfielder with the New York Yankees, Ruth began his career as a successful starting pitcher for the Boston Red Sox. He compiled a 89-46 win-loss record during his time with the Red Sox and set a number of World Series pitching records. In 1918, Ruth started to play in the outfield and at first base so he could help the team on a day-to-day basis as a hitter. In 1919, he appeared in 111 games as an outfielder. He also hit 29 home runs to break Ned Williamson's record for most home runs in a single season.

In 1920, Red Sox owner Harry Frazee sold Ruth to the New York Yankees. The transaction spawned the Curse of the Bambino. Over his next 15 seasons in New York, Ruth lead the league or placed in the top ten in batting average, slugging percentage, runs, total bases, home runs, RBI, and walks several times. Ruth hit 60 home runs in 1927. It stood as the single season home run record for 34 years.

With Ruth on the team, the Yankees won seven American League pennants and four World Series titles. He played his final Major League season with the Boston Braves in 1935. In 1936, Ruth became one of the first five players elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame.

In 1969, he was named baseball's Greatest Player Ever in a ballot commemorating the 100th anniversary of professional baseball. In 1998, The Sporting News ranked Ruth No. 1 on the list of "Baseball's 100 Greatest Players." The next year, baseball fans named Ruth to the Major League Baseball All-Century Team.
