160キロを打つ鳥谷が一番凄いってみんな知ってる？w

the baggy uniforms made him look fatter and less in shape than he actually was. underneath the baggy uniform was a very strong solid dude. He was very tall as well.

Walter and Nolan Ryan had bionic arms. Both threw 100 mph. They both were great and had amazing longevity

Sandy STILL GOT IT. If it wasn’t for his injuries, he could have played another 10 years

At 00:58 - Ruth knows his time is short, so why not get on the mound, pitch 9 innings, get the win and top it off by hitting a home run! The man was simply incredible‼

people had heather bats back then and he probably threw 90-95 so of course people couldn't hit off of him. I think Nolan Ryan is the best.

Ruth didn`t look like an Athlete, but he could do it all, Pitch, Hit, field, and he was a smart Player, and that`s why he was great.

大打者なりました。

It's like the coach said, "Don't act like it's the first homer you ever hit."

Nolan Ryan didn't need a pitch clock like today's pitchers. There are no equals today, everyone grew up pitching 100 pitches or 5 innings meaning they can't go 9 innings game after game after game and throw 100+ for 9 innings!

the crazy thing is he had the same motion for each pitch. The batter would never know whats coming.

I am here July 2024!

I'm gunna need joyner dre and 50 on this beat ASAP

No bat flip, no stare down, no homerun swagger around the basses and no 7-step congratulations at the plate... just pure.

My maternal Grandparents went on dates to the Stadium at that time. Wonderful post. thank you!

Fun to see the Babe pitch towards the end of his career. I had no idea he ever took the mound for the Yankees. Also, if you watch the video at .75x it looks MUCH better.

この時はオールスターに熱気があった

Imagine dirt making dust on a baseball field.

A complete game at age 38! Today's younger pitchers don't usually go more than 6 innings!

Too bad we don't have footage from, say, 1916 when he was at his peak as a pitcher at age 21. Would love to have seen his mechanics then, when he was 23-12 with a 1.75 ERA. I'm sure his pitching motion would've been tighter then than at 38.

Bartolo Colón was the BoSox starting pitcher that day. The Sox handed him the ball because Jamie Moyer had a touch of tendinitis.

Why is his voice so high. Audio technology?

Babe Ruth knew two things: drinking, and playing drunk baseball.

Hey, who is this guy? Reminds me of Shohei Ohtani.

Many people dont know Ruth also helped pitch a no hitter.

Ruth is so damn over rated . He was like an adult playing in a tee ball league

Cool video. Pretty sure that was Julio Franco's rookie season, too.

Washington won the pennant that year, so having Ruth pitch was probably a way for the Yankees to draw some fans to this otherwise meaningless game. He was probably 50 pounds heavier than in his pitching prime with Boston 15 years earlier. Still, it is interesting to see him pitch.

9IP 12H 5ER and 0SO. That’s a funny way to pitch a complete game today.

This was a meaningless game. Ruth asked if he could pitch and why not? A gimmick that might sell tickets for the last game of the season, where the yankees were not in the pennant race. Contrary to popular belief, the yankees with ruth were really never much of a draw in NY. They averaged only 15K fans a game in 1927. In 1933, the yankees had less than 10K fans a game. The depression was hitting hard, and teams were feeling it. The last game drew 20K fans.

How did he have the stamina to pitch 9 innings AND hit a HR at almost 40 years old and that heavy? He was just an amazing athlete.

Fantastic. The best player in baseball history--maybe in sports history. He's my favorite.

I knew an older gent who was the nephew of Ossie Bluege, who played for the Senators from 1922-39. His uncle told him a story about the Yankees playing a weekend series vs. the Senators at the old Griffith Stadium. It seems that the Senators planned to take Ruth out after the game and make sure he got good and drunk. The plan appeared to be working as the next afternoon, the Babe was hung over and having a horrible game. Until, that is, he got up in the 9th and hit a HR that proved to be the game winner. After crossing home plate, he yelled over to the Senator dugout, "hey boys, where we going tonight?"

Fantastic video, Nice video, but what I don’t understand is: If Ruth was willing to pitch in 1933, then why didn’t he pitch (once every 5 days) since 1919? He could’ve still had the same home run total, since he was still in the lineup every day

If Ty Cobb said he couldn’t touch Walter because his fast ball was too fast, and he did say that, then for sure Walter had a blazing fast ball that would kill you or put you in the hospital if it hit you. Some players did get hit with it, never intentionally as Walter was known to be a compassionate man, and they had to be hospitalized. Don’t let his easy delivery fool you. He’s throwing softly in this video out of fear of hitting the guy with the camera who is obviously in the line of fire. In spite of that, the ball is popping out of his hand with surprising speed, considering his relaxed delivery. I only wish there was close-up footage of him throwing at full, maximum speed.

メジャーリーガー対決...

Rare footage indeed. Finding this video is like finding gold, and in this footage Walter Johnson comes across as a simple man, so easygoing and humble. Imagine that, a humble and gentle-hearted man owning the most powerful arm in baseball history. It makes sense God would bestow the gift of such an arm upon a kind-hearted soul, for it would have been too dangerous to give such lethal power to a cruel and abusive man. Only a noble soul like Walter Johnson was worthy of it.

So much wasted motion, but that was standard for the time.

Poetry in Motion

Great Footage! Notice, Lou Gehrig never Shook Babe's hand after Home Run?

Babe Ruth was the greatest home run hitter of all time. His home runs were legendary, his name was a perfect match for his accomplishments that no Hollywood producer would have had the imagination to create, and his personality was as huge and as powerful as his swing ... and yes, he also had Hall of Fame pitching talent, that too. If he had been a fictional character for a novel or a movie, critics would have complained that audiences would not find him believable, no one could be that LARGE and in so many different ways.

Runs like a fairy.

Ohtani looking at his future

most people dont know that Ruth rarely pitched once he came to the yankees.

I thought he got a piece of the gate for this game. Funny, I know the Yankees were not going to the post season in '33 but look at the attendance; today to see Babe Ruth pitch like that would pack the house I'm sure.

He still had that pitcher's big at 38 and had to let it out with 1 last s hi it at the hill. All that body,all that flux, huge shoulders. Very scary to think about how wicked a southpaw that man would be. The Original Big Unit
