heres hte whole story in nutshell       On Feb. 6, 1895, 111 years ago, a legend was born. Today we celebrate the birth and life of George Herman Ruth, Jr., more commonly known as Babe Ruth, or arguably the best baseball player of all time. \n\nBabe Ruth once said, “Never let the fear of striking out get in your way.” His confidence and perseverance are what led to his success. This legendary sports figure continues to inspire millions by his astounding accomplishments in baseball. \n\nThroughout his record-setting career, Babe amazed fans with his abilities. His career .690 slugging percentage is the highest total in the history of Major League Baseball. He remains the only player ever to hit three home runs in a World Series game on two separate occasions – Game 4 of the 1926 Series and Game 4 of the 1928 Series. In 1927, his 60 home runs accounted for 14 percent of all home runs in the American League. \n\nBabe was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1936. He was honored as the American League’s Most Valuable Player in 1923 and the American League All-Star in 1933 and 1934. Throughout his career, he also won 12 American League Homerun Titles. \n\nPosthumously, Babe continues to receive honors. He was named to the Major League Baseball All-Century Team in 1999. The Associated Press named him Athlete of the Century that same year. ESPN recognized Babe as one of the Athletes of the Century as well. \n\nHistory will remember Babe Ruth as an incredible athlete whose name will forever be synonymous with greatness in baseball. On his birthday, February 6, we celebrate his legacy.

Actually it was Mickey Mantel. And Mantel broke alot of those records.. mantel had a total of 373 homerun hits left handed and 163 right handed homers. He still owns records for most homers, RBI, runs, walks, and strikeouts in World Series.

Pujols.  He hit 14 homes in April, which is a new record.  Looks like there's only more to come.

No -- the major league record is only 755 (Hank Aaron) and I believe the record in Japan is 800-something, so I don't think anyone has hit that many homeruns, let alone someone named Tony.

Monday, June 16\n \nAn MVP's encore: Playing in 500 straight games\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nESPN.com news services\n\n \nOakland Athletics shortstop Miguel Tejada, who on Sunday played in his 499th consecutive game, the longest active streak in baseball, is expected to suit up for No. 500 on Tuesday against the visiting Texas Rangers.\n\n \nNEW YORK -- Hideki Matsui tried for a sliding catch, landed hard on his left wrist and grimaced.\n\nHis consecutive games streak was over at 518 -- and perhaps his season, too.\n\n\nSecond:\n\nThe closest current active streak is 361 by Texas Rangers first baseman and former Mount St. Joseph star Mark Teixeira. \n\nYou didn't specify that you wanted the longest and the second longest, therefore the question was answered as asked.

It wasn't the record for consecutive hits. It was the record for most games with at least one hit. And it was 1941.

Lou "iron horse" gehrig has the all time most, with 23. Manny Ramirez, an active player, is second on the list.\nDon "donnie baseball" Mattingly hit the most in one season, 6 in 1987

First thing to keep in mind is that the statistic was formally introduced to Major League Baseball in 1969, so you're talking about 26 years that it's been tracked out of more than 100 years of MLB history.  Lee Smith is the MLB career saves leader, having accumulated 478 saves over an 18-year career, during which time he played for 8 different teams.  Trevor Hoffman of the San Diego Padres leads all active players with 453 career saves.  For the current season, Jason Isringhausen of the St. Louis Cardinals leads the National League with 24 saves, and Jonathan Papelbon lead of the Boston Red Sox leads the American League with 23.

That would be Frank "Homerun" Baker who led the American League four seasons for most homeruns none more than 12 homeruns a season until in 1919 a player by the name of George Herman "Babe" Ruth hit 29 homerums and the rest as they say is history :>) Babe Ruth was a lefthanded pitcher at that time for the Boston Red Sox. What makes people say Babe Ruth the greatest player to ever play the game regardless of era is that he hit 29 homeruns at a time when 8 ,9 or 10 homeruns was considered great the Babe hit 29. That would be the equivalent for some hitter today to hit around 100 homers !!! And Babe was also a great left handed pitcher !! So yes I consider Babe Ruth the greatest player ever .
