Babe Ruth Videos ~ Old Time New York Yankees ~ Home Run in NYY Stadium

[bionicbigfoot]

2:06. That baseball is probably still flying today. Barry Bonds, Mark McGuire, Sammy Sosa..? No, I think not. Gimme the Babe, please and thankyouverymuch.

nice collection of footage,agreed, the drive where the crowd lifts up out of their seats is classic,an all timer

[huskyjerk]

That drive that he hits towards the end of the video has everyone there craning their necks to follow what appears to be an upperdeck or farther drive. Just a great swing and a nice reaction by the players and the crowd of that shot. Definitely a Ruthian Wallop.

guy was a chub, how american.

@patientbluegill Ruth only became overweight near the latter part of his career. Ironically, the majority of surviving videos were taken during that latter period. As a rookie Ruth was a perfect 6'2" 198lbs. His tendency for extreme gluttony and alcohol eventually became his undoing.

@Mechanized0 Last night we watched, again ..John Goodmans portrayal of The Babe.

The earlier Red Sox years portrayal by Goodman is absolutely disgusting.

I'm sure Babe was no rocket scientist but I bet he wasnt the absolute moron they made him out to be either. The "shot" on this video at 2:06 is something to behold.

Only Ruth and no other since.I dont care if someone hits 1000 home runs or 100 in a season.It will never surpass the greatness of the one and ONLY baseball GOD.

the amazing thing about the babe is when you read his biography, he would have been a hall of fame pitcher too. his first five years were primarily as a pitcher, minus a limited rookie season and less starts in his last two years in boston, a 20 game winner twice, an 18 game winner, his first 6 years were in the dead ball era, yet he still hit 714 home runs overall. imagine adding 6 years of batting full time in a live ball era to his stats. it's mind boggling how good he was.

[frankie324]

He would have never made it in todays game. Who did he really hit against?

[thondomain]

@frankie324 Who did he hit against? Only Lefty Grove (300 wins) and Walter Johnson (417 wins, 2.17 ERA) among other Hall of Fame pitchers. There were great pitchers in that era, just as there were great hitters.

@frankie324 You're correct, too many juice monkeys nowadays.....
