Babe Ruth Babe Ruth, "The Bambino," revolutionized baseball with his prodigious power and larger-than-life personality. Playing primarily for the New York Yankees, he transformed the game from a low-scoring, strategy-based sport into a home run era. Ruth hit 714 career home runs and held the single-season record with 60 in 1927. A former pitcher, he became the first true slugger, combining power with charisma. He helped the Yankees win four World Series and was a 12-time All-Star. Ruth’s influence extended beyond stats—he made baseball a national pastime. His legacy includes records, cultural impact, and the myth of the American hero. Despite personal excesses, Ruth remains the most iconic figure in baseball history.
