Babe Ruth is the best baseball player of all time

#1. Babe Ruth
Out of 148 games started as a pitcher, Ruth had 94 wins, 17 shutouts, and 107 complete games. In over 1200 innings pitched, Ruth somehow allowed only 10 home runs. Everyone knows that Ruth did pitch at one time, but not many know how good he actually was. Ruth had 2 twenty win seasons and a career ERA of 2.28.

Ruth made appearances in 10 different World Series (3 with Red Sox, 7 with Yankees). Ruth hit 15 World Series home runs, 33 RBI, and even stole 4 bases (I'm guessing passed balls).

In his first 6 MLB seasons, Ruth had only 49 home runs total. After that Ruth would go on to make the home run popular. Ruth had 11 seasons with 40 or more home runs and finished with 714. Ruth also had 10 season with over 130 RBI including 6 seasons with 150 RBI or more. Ruth was, and always will be THE face of baseball and the greatest player to have ever lived.
