All of sports really, best athlete ever

Because he represented every man who ever had a dream

He was the Beatles.

Even a Yankee hater like me loves the Babe.

After John Rocker maybe 😂😂😂

" exhisted " ? lol _existed_

@@blainew79 Now, think about what _your_ particular "reply" represents, not only in the overall scheme of things but within the narrower, more provincial, world of a 'Social Media' website's "comments section".

I agree, it was fun to watch.

He played himself in _The Pride of the Yankees,_ starring Gary Cooper as Lou Gehrig.

@@blainew79 Spelling, not grammar.

DON'T WORRY , HE DID THAT ONE TOO

@MANCHESTER UNITED then stop watching baseball and go worry about your trash sport

Robert Klugh oh shit savage lol

@M . There is no such thing as "the most important sport" because there is nothing that makes one sport " more important" than any other sport! A sport can be more popular than another sport in terms of either participation or attendance by ticket purchasers or viewership on television, but no sport is "more important" than any other sport!

@M 100 years later and we're still talking about Babe Ruth. So the soccer player we're talking about today from 100 years ago is who?

bitches? forget it

🐦 🪰 ⚾️ 🧢

Somebody in the AL is doing that right now, and they also have speed. Babe laid the groundwork, but as of right now, Ohtani is the most complete package of a ball player in history. He can steal, run, hit for contact, and hit for power, and has a cannon for an arm….A 5 tool player that can also pitch at the highest level. I would have agreed with you 5 years ago that nobody has come close, but as of right now you should be watching Ohtani pave his path as the second coming of Ruth. Ohtani is also saving baseball by bringing in an international audience to subsidize the hemorrhaging of baseball fans in America. He’s not an anomaly either, and has been doing it for multiple seasons. If you love Ruth, you’ll love Ohtani. :^}

Nobody until Shohei Ohtani that is.

​@@KC-bg1th Ohtani is the most incredible talent I've seen. And that's saying something considering the Babe & Barry.

Shohei's got a looooooonnnnnnggg way to go to catch the Babe. 😮

@@KC-bg1th not in history..SINCE Ruth...SINCE Ruth. Babe was also one of the best pitchers in his early era

American as cherry pie 🥧

Both of my grandfather’s used to play baseball in a small ranch in Mexico in the 1930’s. Baseball has been played in Mexico since baseball began. I wouldn’t say baseball has only been popular in America

@@bench-clearingbrawl7737 ya,mexico and japan(i believe cuba too) are also baseball nuts

​@@eric-ph Latin America is koo-koo for biesbol. Statistically there are more L As in the MLs than any other ethnicity. Jim Thorpe>=Babe.

I was thinking the same thing. That was wrigley. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrigley_Field_(Los_Angeles) I’m Trying to identify the 2nd field by and center field the big building in right field

@@jasonwilliams4159 The Hollywood Stars played at Gilmore Field on Fairfax Ave by the L.A. Farmer's Market. Wrigley Field, in South Central Los Angeles, was the home of the PCL's Los Angeles Angels.

Home run derby was such a good show!

Not if Shohei Ohtani has anything to say about it

@@WyattShipp He doesn't.

Babe ruth still got major league bomasenall records books in his hands; especially homeriuns

@@WyattShipp He's good but he ain't Babe!

Ohtani def in the convo but Babe is still head n shoulders above especially when you consider he invented the hr and the stadium

I noticed the same thing, and he had a pretty good golf swing too

The old pre ww2 stuff is gold

That park was Wrigley Field in LA. I thought it lasted 2 seasons. Hank Aaron won his match several weeks in a row. It was a home run or nothing on Home Run Derby! Never missed it.

​@@martinmahern7268 It only lasted one. Sadly, the announcer died of a heart attack at the age of 45 after the first season.

@@wvu05 I remember ESPN ran it some years ago. As a kid, I wanted to live in one of those houses behind the left field wall.

@@martinmahern7268 I'd seen some episodes during rain delays, and then one of those really obscure channels aired it about seven or eight years ago. So amazing to see so many great players, and even some solid ones who are sadly mostly forgotten.

@@wvu05 I was around 10 then. I knew just about every starter on every team, which was much easier then, because of baseball cards and box scores in the paper. Big Milwaukee Braves fan.

Krombopulos Michael How tf do you know?

@@CuervoBoxingTalkbecause he could have his opinion back in the day, without keyboard gangsta’s like you trying to act hard

Ive got the hots for that 3rd baseman, check that, baseWoman.

Betty tagged one pretty good there

1932 according to a Google search.

@@hadmiar8 1931, according to opening credits.

Well said marco rubio

Great scene!

Right there with you. My father saw Ruth play in 1927. A childhood hero for both of us. I became a fan of VH and was fortunate to see them perform 4 times. I was even more fortunate to meet EVH the day after a show in Lakeland, FL in 1981. They were at Disney World and we hung out at their tour bus in the Disney parking lot. He passed out beers, signed our ticket stubs from the show the night before, and handed out VH guitar picks. He definitely was the Babe Ruth of rock guitar.

😂

I dunno. How hard is it to hit against pitchers who pitch a complete double header? And the fielders aren't charged with errors because they aren't expected to make plays with the individual finger mitts they used back then. Can't take stats seriously until the 50's rolled around.

@alien observer yeah I know. I'm well aware I know nothing except for the facts. Thanks for pointing that out.

@@Jaysin31 Show me the stats about pitchers who threw complete games of a double-header. A single complete game pitched was more common in Ruth's time, that's true. He pitched several and held a World Series record for scoreless innings for 40 years (shutouts, too). The game is completely different now so it makes no more sense to compare a player from the 1920's to now than it does to compare a Duesenberg to a Camry. It all boils down to comparing a player to their peers and Ruth was among the greatest pitchers and hitters of his time.

@@newerafrican Dutch Levson(1926), Urban Shocker(1924), Dave Davenport(1918), Ray Collins, Ed Summers, Frank Owen, George Mullin, Ray Collins, to name a few. All at least 17 innings and one pitched 19. And those are only the players who pitched complete games. There are countless others who pitched less than complete games. And I promise you these guys weren't even close to throwing 90+mph.

@@Jaysin31 Agreed that the game has changed and relief & specialty pitching now is part of that. Ruth himself holds the record for the longest postseason complete game victory of 14 innings. However, pitchers didn't have to throw 90 mph to be effective. Batters didn't wear batting gloves or wear any kind of protective shields and the brushback pitch was part of the game. As I said, you can only compare the older era players to their peers, and Ruth was certainly at the top of his class.

5:59 stunning!

Babe Ruth smashed all of them....

It didn't take nearly the talent to make the bigs back then as it does today.

@@tannerroberts1114 It's all relative. Athletes back then were not nearly the "physical specimens" they have become in the 21st Century. However, the Babe was competing against the best athletes of his day (the white ones anyway) and his achievements are amazing, even today.

@@fliegeroh Yeah, that makes sense.

Ohtoni is doing a fine job do far BUT , the Babe was the best . Hammering Hank is the true homer king now though . Mcguire is a cheater

@@rogerwelyki1370 - Yes, Ohtani is amazing. With the DH, he should be able to continue pitching as well as hitting for a longer period in his career. I think he may one day be spoken of as "the greatest baseball player of all time."

Normandy Golf Course is where he'd play when in town.

@@RetroManHarv Thanks for the info. Although a southside person I went to college at UMSL in the 1970s close by it. Maybe UMSL was where it was located?

Do you think we invented pretty girls?

@@betsyduane3461 My mom and her sisters were ALL very pretty!! They just didn’t flaunt it like today!! BTW They all played softball in the late 1940s

@@betsyduane3461 It's nice to see they had pretty girls back then 😂 I love that guy's line, as if beauty is some new invention lol

@Tom Douglas Sicks You mean to tell me beautiful women have always existed???? That can't be. Are you sure? LOL I thought beautiful women only came into existence after Babe Ruth's time 😂

I hear Eve was kinda hot.

He should have played himself in the movie of his life. William Bendix was terrible at it.

He was considered fast for his era. What I like it shows he was intelligent, people tend to forget this fact. When they see name Babe, they assume he was like a child...he wasn't.

He stole home 10 times in his career. More than Rickey Henderson!

THE BABE ROUTINELY HIT 500 FOOT HOMERS ,... the ball was dead,..the bats weighed 40 pounds and the power allies were 460,..he knew the game ,.

I don't I'm black lol

@@noacog4u320 lol! I see your point!

@@noacog4u320 we need to figure out some kind of “good new days” then!

That would be amazing lol

Where was the 2nd field located.

@@jasonwilliams4159 See the Wikipedia article.

you are correct. same ballpark

@@rstefanie2622 Thanks

Guess it’s ok to laugh at one who weighs what? Where’s the cutoff

talking video came in around the time of the h.is the murderers row teams

He acted quite a bit there is a lot of footage of him

Tons of it

MooMooPuppy- Yes. Watch “The Pride of the Yankees” with Gary Cooper as Lou Gehrig. Babe plays himself and has a lot of lines.

He's also in a Harold Lloyd comedy called Speedy.

The way he golfed that it probably STILL hasn't landed.

LOL, I gotta admit for being 1932, almost 90 years ago, the humor was pretty damn good. Babe seemed like such a sarcastic dude in real life, this role was probably easy for him to play lol. He was basically making fun of how his wife controlled his life and everything. Could you imagine Babe today in 2020??? With social media and all of these different modern things we have today, he would be on the front page of TMZ and every large newspaper probably every day of the week lol. Babe would make what Tiger Woods did look like nothing, as many women as Babe was with.

Right? I’m so glad I found this

yes, it was. Babe did a 1927 silent film there, too. "Babe Comes Home."

Yes.

@@tahoepoet Babe Ruth also appears in Speedy (1928), Harold Lloyd has to taxi him to Yankee stadium (This movie very important because it shows Ruth in his prim and how fit he really was). What is special about this, another player makes a cameo when Ruth and Lloyd are at Yankee Stadium. Lou Gehrig appears looking through driver side windows for a few seconds.
