If it wasn't for Babe Ruth, baseball may have been a passing phase.

It's said that when Babe Ruth hit his 500th career home run ... no one else had ever hit 250 ...

"The date was 23 June, 1917. Babe Ruth was the starting pitcher for the Boston Red Sox as he faced Ray Morgan of the Washington Senators to start the game. Ruth walked Morgan but the Babe was not happy about it, claiming that home plate umpire Brick Owens had missed two strikes during the plate appearance and said, “open your eyes and keep them open”. Owens then threatened Ruth with ejection from the game if he didn’t quiet down and go back to pitching. Ruth responded: “"You run me out and I will come in and bust you on the nose." Owens ejected him and Ruth kept his promise/threat, running up to Owens and taking two swings (first one missed; second one connected). Red Sox player/manager Jack Barry and several policemen had to drag an incensed Ruth off the field. Barry then replaced Ruth with Ernie Shore…

Morgan attempted to steal but was thrown out. Then, Shore retired the next 26 Senators hitters, but, because he didn’t start, he’s not given credit for a perfect game. The Red Sox won the game 4–0. Until MLB changed the definition of a “no-hitter” in the 1990’s, Shore’s performance was considered a “no-hit, no-run” game."

He was amazing and people do not realize he has no hitters under his belt to go along with those prolific offensive numbers. If he had remained a pitcher we may have been giving out the babe ruth award for best pitcher instead of cy young.

The thing that was REALLY incredible about him though was that he hit all,those homers out of yankee stadium so easily which was incredible the fact the outfield walls back then were so much further than they are now,they were like 440 back then,they moved them closer over the decades.so the fact he set all those records back then in that day and age under those circumstances,it cannot be disputed he is the REAL true home run king hitting more homers in a year than bonds and more in a season than Aaron,Aaron played more games than Ruth and hit them in a smaller ballpark so that’s no debate and we all know what a fraud bonds was,same as your hero shady brady is.Lol
