Babe Ruth was one of only two people (Reggie Jackson being the other) to ever hit
      three home runs in a World Series game and is the only one to do it twice (1926&
      1928).
      Babe Ruth and Ralph Kiner ranked first and second respectively as the outfielders with
      the highest average home runs per at-bat .
      Babe Ruth is credited with the invention of the modern baseball bat. He was the first
      player to order a bat with a knob on the end of the handle. Louisville Slugger produced
      the bat which he hit 29 home runs in 1919.
      Babe Ruth holds the record for the longest complete game victory in World Series
      history. In 1916, as a member of the Boston Red Sox, Ruth went 14 innings to defeat
      the Brooklyn Dodgers.
      Babe Ruth led the American League in home runs 12 times.
      Babe Ruth has the most base on balls with 2,056.
      When Babe Ruth hit 60 home runs in 1927, he hit 14% of all home runs in his league
      that year. For a player to hit 14% of all home runs today, he would have to hit over 300
      home runs in one season.
"Babe Ruth, who is dead
 at the present time, lives
neverless.
