Ruth was arguably the greatest professional athlete of the 20th century. He saved baseball in the 1920's after the White Sox World Series scandal. It was Ruth and his majestic home runs that put people back in the seats.
Ruth set the all time record home run record, a mark that stood until Aaron passed him in 1974. We remember # 60 in 1927!
