I once read that no one, including Hank Aaron, hit as many homers as a percentage of times at bat. It wasn’t even close.
The Red Sox will be celebrating tonight by beating the Yankees. I will catch as much of the game as I can while watching the draft and checking out a new music venue tonight. And seeing a Led Zeppelin tribute band called Get The Led Out.
If we celebrate it like the Babe did, how many years will it take off our lives?
Babe Ruth was full time pitcher from 1914-1917. He pitched and won over 20 games in the 1916 and 1917 seasons. In the 1918-1919 he pitched half as much but hit an astounding 29(1919)home runs in the dead ball era that lasted from the beginning of baseball until the end of the 1919 season.
Barry Bonds once said he was better ball player than Babe Ruth. I couldn’t stand Bonds.
According to the historical marker in downtown Fayetteville North Carolina Babe Ruth hit his first homerun there.
Doody!!! Whoops, wrong movie.
