He wasn't just a baseball pitcher, he became a legend. Babe Ruth’s legacy continues far beyond the outstanding statistics. He essentially changed how baseball was played entirely. He single handedly moved baseball forward from the Dead Ball Era, when teams were simply bunting, using the hit-and-run, and stealing bases to win games, to the Live Ball Era, where teams are now investing in sluggers to hit them 30+ home runs per season in hopes of scoring more runs per game and driving up attendance numbers.
