I only know one - Babe Ruth

At first blush one would say George Herman "Babe" Ruth. But, it wouldn't be accurate. He stood 6' 2" tall and weighed 215 pounds. Big, yes. Fat? That's a toss-up. There are other myths about the man. The candy bar wasn't named for him. It was named for a presidential daughter.
My favorite fat player was a guy who played for the Phillies and the White Sox named Greg Luzinski. He even had a respectable looking "beer belly". He hit homers like he was playing softball. There's even an entry in the record book for his play with Chicago that credits him with the "most home runs-roof" at the old Comiskey Park.
In second place would be John Kruk who I watched play here at our minor league park in Las Vegas before he moved up to the Padres and the Phillies.

Babe Ruth. Which other baseball has 2 candy bars named after him? Granted that Mark McGuire has the Big Mac which has two patties.

Boog Powell.....Baltimore Orioles first baseman in the 60's and 70s. Also known for those original Miller Lite commercials in the late 70's

Well, probably the Babe...a slugger all the way. Not so sure I would call him fat, but he wasn't slim, either.

'Babe' Ruth-- he hit them out of the park so he wouldn't have to run.
