FAMOUS 'GREASE' CAR SIGNED BY OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN UP FOR AUCTION
Ruth is wideley considered the best baseball player of all time, most notably as a Yankee. He was, at first, a very good pitcher with the Boston Red Sox. After the Sox sold him to the Yanks, though, the Curse of the Bambino began, and he became the best hitter in the game.
His 714 home runs were an MLB record until Hank Aaron broke the record in 1974.
Ruth was the first true power hitter in baseball history, sometimes hitting more home runs by himself than entire teams combined. He is still the all-time leader in slugging percentage (.690) and OPS (1.164).
