Ruth got disowned by his parents and put in a foster home. By 7 years old he was already chewing tobacco, gambling and drinking whiskey. He’s from the same neighborhood as Gervonta Davis.

I think he already hit 85 homers and drove in 275 runs by that age also while smoking in the batter's box and putting his beer mug on the mound while pitching.

The Sultan of Swat and The Pride of the Yankees playing together was beyond historic. Two members of the greatest baseball team of all time: 1927 New York Yankees Murderers Row!! My great-grandpa was a lucky guy who watched them play together live during that magical season! The absolute best two Yankees ever!!

Lou Gehrig was also born into a working class family. He just made good of himself.

My dad went to the Babes funeral at Yankee stadium. He was in the coast guard stationed at Ellis Island hospital. He remembered that day and told me about the experience 60 years later.

Instead of showing the same 12 pictures we've looked at for the past 100 years, you put video of Shaq and Kobi.....I appreciate that

Lou Gehrig - my favorite New York Yankee of all time!

@georgearthur304 yes, Gehrig and Mickey are my favorite too

Just came across your channel and I love it. Two of my favorite players along with Clemente and Vlad Guerrero. Ive always felt that Gehrig was number 2 or 3 all time best hitters because for most of his short career and life he batted behind Ruth and then DiMaggio and won his two MVP's doing so. Batted over .300 12x in a row, 8 times in the top 5 in MVP voting. 13x over 100 runs , 8x over 200 hits, 8x over 400 TB won 2 MVP and if it wasn't for Jimmie Foxx in '32 and '33 and being overlooked during his Triple crown year of '34 he could have had 5 MVP.

Babe Ruth was such a great pitcher that during his 15-season tenure with the New York Yankees, (1920-1934), He had pitched in five games and low and behold "The Babe" won all five games for a 5-0 pitching record for the Yankees! Fact. Everything "The Babe did was great! Everything that he did was BIG! "The Babe" literally eat life up! The Legend of Big-Fat "Babe" Ruth will never die! Babe Ruth was baseball, Is baseball, and always will be BASEBALL ⚾!!!!

The candy Bar baby Ruth can actually be traced to president Gorver Cleveland’s first born daughter named Ruth I believe.

He did have a candy bar, though. It was called Ruth’s Home Run Candy Bar.

Great video

Then there are the barnstorming days. While on a boat to Japan, Gehrig ends up having to search for Eleanor for an extensive period of time, only to find her in Ruths room. Although just partying (and I believe Ruths wife was there as well) this obviously upset the Iron Horse enough to hold a serious grudge against The Babe.

That's one story , I also read Ruth made a pass at Gehrig's wife

Epic

MICKEY MANTLE'S SPEECH I OFTEN WONDERED HOW A MAN THAT KNEW HE WAS DYING COULD SAY HE WAS LUCKIEST MAN IN THE WHOLE WORLD NOW I KNOW BEAUTIFUL WORDS FROM ONE OG TO ANOTHER. IT'S ENOUGH TO BRING A TEAR TO A GLASS EYE.

Gehrig was born with the name Heinrich Ludwig Gehrig. His parents changed it to Henry Louis Gehrig during WWI.

Fun fact The bat Ruth uses as a cane in that famous pitcher belonged to Hall of Fame pitcher Bob Feller.

Actually Cal's streak ended when I went on strike...

Good strategy for clicks. No way they didn't speak for 7 years. Gherig didn't have the type of personality that would inspire that type of lasting animosity.

Shelby Foote tells a story of meeting them when they were roommates in a hotel, I don't think they would share a room if they disliked each other or perhaps it was prior to their dispute . Also I had to put my glasses on to clarify that you typed 'Clicks'

This is amazing

Good video! (Except for the Lakers clips and the over-extended unfunny joke about the different teams Ruth was traded to - sorry). But a few corrections. Christy Mathewson was never boring -especially in the 1920s. He retired in 1916. The Yankee manager was Joe McCarthy not "Joe McCartney". Ruth's single season home run record stood for 34 years, not 40. You imply upon Ruth's death that Yankee Stadium would "come to be known as" The House That Ruth Built. It actually was referred to as that from the day it opened in 1923.

Did he play the piano?

It seems like these two were good guy/bad guy.

It's been said that McCovey and Mays weren't all that close to each other, and they sat in different luxury suites at AT & T , now Oracle, in their retirement years as spectators to Giants games.

It's because they were lovers

No such thing as karma, Ruth drunk & treated his body terribly. Gehrig did everything right gets ALS...

Ruth died of throat cancer, likely from excessive cigars. No such thing as karma? And the idea that Ruth didn’t take care of himself has been vastly exaggerated. He was one of the first athletes to hire a personal trainer
