Babe Ruth's Legacy

Babe's career with the New York Yankees is where his iconic figure came from. With him switching from pitcher to right field the year before, it made playing right field in The Bronx much easier. He played fifteen years in New York, every year becoming more and more powerful as a hitter. The famous 1927 New York Yankees was led by Babe Ruth. With the team already having the penant well under their belt, everyone's eyes turned to Babe and his chase of sixty homeruns. He later accomplished his goal and also later won the World Series. During his time with New York Babe won four more World Series titles, a two time all-star, and ten time homerun champ. Later in his life the New York Yankees would retire Babe Ruth's number, number three, on June 13, 1948. Babe is arguably the best baseball player ever to play the game for the New York Yankees, and says a lot seeing the type of players go through that stadium. Babe Ruth thought of retirement later that year of 1934 and wanted to continue on to become a manager for the Yankees. With his wife talking him out of becoming a manager Babe continued his career, but not as a Yankee.
