Player of the 20th century

Babe Ruth is most recognized for his many record breaking accomplishments and for being a role model for any sport fanatic in the 1920s. Ruth was very young when his career had kicked off at the age of nineteen. He was known as the greatest player of the century. In 1919, he played for the Boston Red Sox and during that time set a record for the most scoreless innings in the World Series. Also during that time with the Red Sox, he hit 29 home runs, which was a new record. In 1920, he went and played with the New York Yankees. In his career, he set many records some of which were hitting 60 home runs in a year. That record stood unbroken for at least 34 years. Rumors began to spread regarding his weight, stating that he had to get someone to run the bases for him after he hit the ball. Although this was very controversial in the sports world, no actual evidence was found that this was true.
