What was the major contribution from Babe Ruth?

In 1920, Babe Ruth was sold to the New York Yankees by the Boston Red Sox for $125,000. Baseball introduced a livelier ball and Ruth helped to change the game by bringing the Home Run to the game, changing much of the strategy of how the game was played. Ruth set a new record by hitting 54 home runs for the Yankees in his first season in New York. Led by Ruth, and other "power" hitters, this renewed a new enthusiam for the game. In addition, Ruth, and other power hitters then became the elite superstars of the game, taking the attention away from the pitchers, who had previously dominated the game. This power hitting era also sparked the building of new stadiums designed to make the home run more easy. This trend has come back around in the 2000s with the new stadiums with smaller dimensions, all going back to the Ruth era. It is safe to say that Ruth, primarily, and others, like Hank Greenburg, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio and others, not only changed the game of baseball, but also the economics of the game.

Why did Babe Ruth retire?

Babe Ruth, at age 40, was released by the New York Yankees following the 1934 season and signed by the Boston Braves to start the 1935 season. In his first game with the Braves, he hit a home run, but as the season progressed, he realized his career was over. In June, after hitting seven home runs for the Braves that year, he removed himself from the lineup and ended his playing career. At that time, his skills had diminished to the point he could no longer play in the field, nor run the bases. Baseball rules were altered so that a courtesy runner was allowed for Ruth when he got on base, but still allowed him to remain in the lineup, a rule established for Ruth only, just to keep the former star in the lineup as he was still a draw for the Braves, who were struggling in the field and at the box office. The Braves finished last in the National League that season with a record of just 38 wins against 115 losses.
