He started with the [[Boston Red Sox]] as a successful pitcher (94-46), but he is most famous for his middle and later career as an outfielder for the [[New York Yankees]]. He hit 714 home runs, a record until [[Hank Aaron]] broke it in the 1970's, and also set a record by hitting 60 home runs in a single season in 1927.  That record stood until [[Roger Maris]] hit 61 home runs in 1961.  It should be noted that the length of the season had been increased by 1961, and Ruth hit 60 home runs in fewer games.  Nevertheless, many polls place him as the number one player of all time, in official baseball statistics, his record was eclipsed.
