Babe Ruth

Babe Ruth's major league career: 1914-1919: Boston Red Sox

1920-1934: New York Yankees

1935: Boston Braves

I will give you a couple of players whose MLB careers ended before 1914, which is when the Babe's started.

A position player would be Cap Anson and a pitcher would be Addie Joss.

Anson played 27 seasons (1871-1897) for the Rockford Forest Citys, Philadelphia Athletics, and the teams known then as the White Stockings and Colts which is now the Chicago Cubs. He had a career batting average of .334 (24th best in MLB history), 3435 base hits (6th best in MLB history), and 2075 RBIs (3rd best in MLB history). It was his MLB career RBI record that Babe Ruth broke in 1933. Ty Cobb broke his career MLB base hits record in 1923.

Joss pitched for the Cleveland Naps (now Indians) from 1902-1910. He won 20+ games in a season 4 times, had a career ERA of 1.89 which is 2nd best in MLB history, and threw 45 shutouts in 260 career starts. He pitched a perfect game in 1908 throwing only 74 pitches. Walter Johnson called Joss the best pitcher he had ever seen. Tragically, Joss contracted tubercular meningitis in April, 1911 and shortly thereafter passed away at the age of 31.

Babe Ruth had 8399 at-bats

yes. It's required by the rules. Running might be a bit generous with some of his home runs, but he did round the diamond, touching all bases.

Babe Ruth died at age 53 on August 16, 1948 at Memorial Hospital in New York City of throat cancer, which he fought for 2 years.

Babe Ruth played right field for the New York Yankees.

Babe Ruth did not attend college

Paige was 11 years younger than Ruth, so by the time he was coming up, Ruth was going down. However, they did compete at least once in a barnstorming game. The great Buck O'Neal described it:

I wish I could have been there when Babe Ruth pointed and hit the ball out of the ballpark in the 1932 World Series. I wish I could have seen that. But I did see something I admired just about as much, with Satchel Paige and Babe Ruth. This was in Chicago, after Ruth came out of the major leagues. He was barnstorming, playing with different teams, and he played us. Satchel was pitching and Ruth was hitting. Satchel threw Ruth the ball and Ruth hit the ball, must have been 500 feet, off of Satchel. Satchel looked at Ruth all the way around the bases and when Ruth got to home plate, you know who shook his hand? Satchel Paige shook Ruth's hand at home plate.

They stopped the game and waited, he and Satchel talking, until the kid went out, got the ball, brought it back and Satchel had Babe Ruth autograph that ball for him. That was some kind of moment.

Baseball fans honored him on April 27, 1947, which was declared Babe Ruth Day for every organized baseball league in the United States. His jersey number 3 was retired at his last appearance at Yankee Stadium on June 13, 1948, which also commemorated the stadium's 25th anniversary.

Hank Aaron hit 755 homers Babe Ruth hit 700 the answer is 55 -----

Aaron hit 755 home runs and Ruth hit 714 home runs for a difference of 39.

In MLB, 22 ... 1914-1935.

Brought up in the Baltimore area he went to a local elementary school.He was considered to be an "incorrigible kid", and had to be removed. When Babe Ruth was seven years old his parents placed him in St. Mary's Industrial School (Baltimore), an institution for underprivileged boys.

Babe Ruth has been ranked by some as the greatest baseball player of all time. He was born in Baltimore, Maryland in a tough neighborhood known as Pigtown. His father sent him to a reform school and an orphanage, St. Mary's Industrial School for Boys, when he was pretty young, only seven years old. Ruth spent the next 12 years of his life there before being picked up by the minor-league Balitmore Orioles.

Babe Ruth had 8399 official at bats and got 2873 base hits. That would mean Ruth got out approximately 5526 times. I say approximately because a batter is charged with an at bat if he gets on base due to an error.

A balk cannot be called if no one is on base. The essence of a balk is the pitcher is tiring to achieve an unfair advantage over the base runner. No runner, no advantage. If a pitcher, while no runners are on base, commits an action that would have been recognized as a balk if runners had been on base, the penalty for this is a ball. So yes, in theory, you could "walk someone without every throwing a pitch" --- (i.e), if you were on the mound and dropped the ball, that would be a "balk" and result in a ball.. The thing is, it does count on pitch count

Babe Ruth's shoe size was 11.
