Babe Ruth is your Radio Trivia Answer

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 .

600 HR. But it's not a "record" per se, it is an acheivement.  A lot of people believe that if you can hit certain marks (X number of HRs or Y number of hits) you can ensure yourself a spot in the HOF.  That is why Palmerio, who was always an above-average player, but questionable HOFer, wanted so bad to hit the 3000 hit mark, because he felt that he could get into the Hall that way.\n\nSosa is currently at 588 and fifth on the list.  While it isn't possible for him to get to fourth (Willie Mays has 660), everyone with over 600 is in the HOF (Ruth, Aaron and Mays) or expected to get in (Bonds).  The interesting thing is that all eligible players with over 500 HRs are also in the HOF.\n\nIf you're interested, below is a list of the career HR leaders.

Babe Ruth\n\nRuth, a left hander, proved to be (1914—19) a formidable pitcher for the Red Sox and one of the most successful in major-league baseball, winning 87 and losing 44 games and winning three World Series games (one in 1916, two in 1918). However, because pitchers do not play in every game, in 1919 Ruth was shifted to the outfield, where his hitting prowess could be used consistently.\n\nThe following year he was sold to the New York Yankees of the American League, and because of his batting feats and attractive public personality he greatly helped to salvage baseball's popularity, weakened by revelations that gamblers and players, in the so-called Black Sox scandal, had successfully conspired to influence the results of the 1919 World Series. Ruth hit the most home runs per season for several years (1919—21, 1923—24, 1926—30), tied for the home run lead in 1918 and 1931, and set a record of 60 home runs in a 154-game season in 1927. (In 1961 Roger Maris hit 61 in a 162-game season, in 1998 Mark McGwire hit 70, and in 2001 Barry Bonds hit 73.) Ruth hit 714 home runs in major league play, a record that held until 1974, when Hank Aaron surpassed it. Ruth led the Yankees to seven pennants (1921—23, 1926—28, 1932), and Yankee Stadium, built in 1923, came to be known as "the house that Ruth built." \n\nHe was the highest-paid player of his era, but toward the end of his career he took several salary cuts before he was traded by the Yankees to the Boston Braves (National League) in 1935. He played with the Braves while serving as assistant manager but soon (June, 1935) was released.\n\nRuth was an unmistakable figure with his large frame and spindle-thin legs, and his talented and colorful play captured baseball fans' imagination. For example, in the third game of the 1932 World Series he appeared to indicate a spot in the stands of the Chicago Cubs' ball park where he would hit the ball and promptly blasted it there for a home run. Off the playing field "the Bambino," as he was affectionately called, made headlines for his charitable actions, such as visiting sick children in hospitals, as well as for his prodigious appetites and flamboyant lifestyle.\n\nIn 1936, Ruth became the second player to be elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame; Ty Cobb was the first. A year before he died he established and endowed the Babe Ruth Foundation to aid underprivileged youth. He wrote How to Play Baseball (1931). ...

Mark MacGwire hit a Randy Johnson Fastball 575 in seattle when Big Mac was with the A's\nMickey Mantle never hit a ball as far as they say he did.  I've heard 610, 630, 700 and a bunch of other inflated numbers.  But after extensive research, and accounts from people who were actually at Yankee stadium, those numbers are as inflated as the Yankee payroll, and Steinbrenners ego.  Yankee fans wanna always think their the best, so they make stuff up.  There was no consistent way of measuring distance in Mantles time. Now we actually have a way of measuring home runs, Other than guessing, and embelishing like the New York media does on a daily basis.
