George Herman (Babe) Ruth was the greatest slugger in the history of the national pastime. His never-equaled home-run prowess with the New York Yankees earned him the title "Sultan of Swat." His 714 home runs in 22 seasons, and 15 circuit clouts in World Series competition, set his most prominent all-time Major League records. He was the first to hit 60 home runs in a single season in 1927. In his early days as a pitcher, he had a record of 92 victories and 44 defeats, plus 3 triumphs in World Series competition, and his lifetime batting average was .342.
