About Babe Ruth

Babe Ruth was a transformative baseball star whose power hitting helped define the New York Yankees’ rise during the 1920s. He finished his career with 714 home runs and entered the Hall of Fame.

George Herman “Babe” Ruth played in the major leagues from 1914 through 1935, beginning as a left-handed pitcher with the Boston Red Sox before becoming baseball’s most celebrated power hitter. After joining the New York Yankees in 1920, he helped popularize an aggressive home-run style and became a central figure of the sport’s growth. Ruth set the single-season home-run record with 60 in 1927, a mark that stood for decades. He won World Series titles with both Boston and New York, and his career total of 714 home runs remained a benchmark for generations. Ruth was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1936.
