Babe Ruth Videos

Babe Ruth videos can be found throughout baseball history. Baseball: A film by Ken Burns, was the story of America's national pastime - an epic overflowing with heroes and hopefuls, scoundrels and screwballs. The saga brought to life rare images of baseball players hardly ever seen and in that vein Baseball Almanac is bringing to you Babe Ruth videos that have been researched by hand and specifically chosen to illustrate the life and times of this ballplayer.
"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.
