Babe Ruth Stats

Babe Ruth was born on Wednesday, February 6, 1895, in Baltimore, Maryland. Ruth was 19 years old when he broke into the big leagues on July 11, 1914, with the Boston Red Sox. His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive Babe Ruth baseball stats page.
"The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest stars in the world, but if they don't play together, the club won't be worth a dime" - Babe Ruth

THE BABE ENDED HIS CAREER IN 1935 WITH A RECORD 714 HOME RUNS. SINCE THEN TWO OTHERS HAVE HIT MORE. ONE NEEDED 9,847 AT BATS, THE OTHER 12,364. RUTH NEEDED ONLY 8399 AT BATS. HAD RUTH BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE AS MANY AT BATS AS HIS RIVALS, HE WOULD'VE MADE SOUVINERS OUT OF 837 AND 1051 BASEBALLS RESPECTIVELY. I DON'T SEE A RECORD BEING BROKEN HERE. BABE RUTH IS STILL THE GREATEST HOME RUN HITTER OF ALL TIME. YOU CAN LOOK IT UP RIGHT HERE AT BASEBALL ALMANAC.
