It was Tanyon Sturtze, who lost 18 games and walked 89 while pitching for Tampa Bay.  He also allowed 271 hits, 33 more than anyone else in the AL:\n\nhttp://www.baseball-reference.com/s/sturtta01.shtml

Ruth played from 1914 to 1935, from the ages 19-40.  That is a span of 21 years.  Throughout that period, he actually was a pitcher, from ages 19-26 and 35 and 38 years old.  He had two 20+ winning seasons as a pitcher in 1916 and 1917 at ages 21 and 22, respectively.

Babe Ruth.  Lou Gehrig.  If I mention one, I have to mention the other.

His last 3 home runs were hit on May 25, 1935, in Pittsburgh.  At the time, Ruth was playing for the Boston Braves.

What "babe's record" are you talking about?\n\nIf you mean Homeruns, that record belongs to Hank Aaron.\n\nGeorge Herman Ruth's homeruns are meaningless when it concerns the #1 record of all time.\n\nwho cares about breaking the #2 record when it means nothing.

Babe Ruth maxxed out at $80,000.  Joe DiMaggio was the first $100,000 baseball player.

Babe Ruth is your Radio Sports Trivia Answer\n\n"How to hit home runs: I swing as hard as I can, and I try to swing right through the ball...The harder you grip the bat, the more you can swing it through the ball, and the farther the ball will go. I swing big, with everything I've got. I hit big or I miss big. I like to live as big as I can."\nhttp://baseball-almanac.com/quotes/quoruth.shtml

Well, it broke the old home run record, also set by Ruth. It was also more than several entire teams hit that year. There were a lot of things significant about it.

Thigpen. 57 in 1990. \nIt wore his arm out thoguh. He was never an effective reliever again. \n\nHoffman was close in 98 with 53, Rivera twice over 50 with 50 in 01 and 53 in 04, Eck with 51 in 92. I think thats everybody who's topped 50 saves in a season.\n\nForgot Gagne and Smoltz who each got 55.

Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron

He was 40...he was born in 1895 and hit #714 in 1935.\n\nFor the first 40 years of his life, Babe Ruth believed he had been born in 1894 instead of 1895.  Even after he discovered that he had been born a year later than he thought, he continued to refer to his age for the rest of his life as though he had been born in 1894, because he had been used to thinking that way.\n\n\nOne correction on Gehrig04's comment...\n\nRuth's last three home runs were hit in one game at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh... Guy Bush gave up the last two homers of Ruth's career, #s 713 and 714...\n\nHowever, this was not Ruth's last game. Some books claim that it was, in order to puff up the legend, and I'm thinking that the pathetic movie with William Bendix ("The Babe Ruth Story") might have been scripted to indicate that he immediately retired after hitting the three home runs.\n\nBut he played a few other games after that... the three home runs came on May 25, 1935, his last game was played on May 30, 1935.\n\nI've even read conflicting reports as to what he did in his last game. Wikipedia indicates that he struck out in the first inning, and injured his knee in the bottom of the first while playing the outfield... he left the game and never played again.\n\nAnother source I read stated that he grounded out to first base, unassisted, in his final at bat.  I'm not sure what the real story is, other than the fact that his 3 home runs did not occur in his last game.\n\nRuth had only two 3-homer games during his regular season career (which encompassed 2,503 games).  He added two more 3-homer games in World Series play, once in 1926 and again in 1928. Both World Series contests were played against the St. Louis Cardinals.

He became known as the home run king after  passing Big Mac for the single season record of 71 not 73.\n\nSAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco Giants slugger Barry Bonds hit his 71st home run Friday night, taking him to a place no player has gone before. Then he hit his 72nd and pushed the single-season home run record even further out of this world. On a night when the Giants' playoff hopes were dealt a knockout blow, Bonds struck back-to-back blows for the history books as he surpassed Mark McGwire's record 70 homer plateau set in 1998 and became the single-season home run king. A game after tying Big Mac for the record in a 10-2 victory at Houston's Enron Field, Bonds ended the suspense on his first at-bat and first swing before a sellout crowd of 41,730 at Pacific Bell Park.

Currently-----> Alex Rodriguez all the way!!! He has over 400 homers, and he is a really stong player. And, he plays good defense on 3B, and even though he swings at a lot of his pitches, that is what gave him all those homers!!!\n\nPast-----> Babe Ruth!!!

I would have to say Josh Gibson with his 986 Home Runs hitting a whooping 0 in the major leagues and 986 in the negro leagues.
