George Herman Ruth, Jr. (February 6, 1895 – August 16, 1948), best known as "Babe" Ruth and nicknamed "the Bambino" and "the Sultan of Swat", was an American Major League baseball player from 1914–1935. Ruth originally broke into the major leagues with the Boston Red Sox as a starting pitcher
Babe Ruth's 60 Home Run Season (1927)

In 1927, Babe Ruth set the first truly long-term single season home run standard. However, his first Major League home run record was established during the 1919 season when he connected a then unbelievable twenty-nine times with the Boston Red Sox. The 1919 plateau was considered at the time an "unreachable mark" until the following year when the Bambino smashed his own record by going deep fifty-four times — then beat that record just one year later when he went deep fifty-nine times. A few seasons passed and the 1920 record seemed safe until 1927, when the Sultan of Swat blasted sixty long balls in just one-hundred fifty-one games.

"I've never heard a crowd boo a homer but I've heard plenty of boos after a strike-out." - Babe Ruth

The Original 60 : by Babe Ruth

 

	Babe Ruth has one of the BEST quotations section here at Baseball Almanac. Explore it then share with us other quotations (with a source) about this legendary slugger. Distance marks of home runs were not "officially" kept in 1927, so we will never know who could truly hit the ball the furthest, but we welcome your opinion on our baseball message boards. Did you know that single signed Babe Ruth balls in mint condition often sell for over fifteen grand a piece? Did you know signed photos can fetch nearly twelve thousand a piece?

Reason: why I choose Babe Ruth? For me, baseball is hard. But, he can play baseball easily and very good. And then, many people called him "A Legend".
