BABE RUTH
Babe Ruth’s name can be found among the “First Five” inaugural members of the Baseball Hall of Fame. He played Major League Baseball for 22 seasons, beginning in 1914, and his .690 slugging percentage is still untouched. “The Bambino” is widely regarded as baseball’s greatest player of all time.
Babe Ruth’s best season as a player was 1926, when he hit.372 with 47 home runs. Ruth takes a break from training to visit with hundreds of baseball fans who can’t get enough of him in this photo.
HANK AARON
Hank Aaron rarely hit less than 24 home runs in a season during his 21 years in Major League Baseball. For 33 years, he was a consistent player who held the MLB record for most home runs. Aaron is one of only two players in the league to hit at least 30 home runs in a single season, which he has done at least 15 times. To this day, the legendary athlete holds a number of records.
With the bat still in his right hand, he starts his run to first base in this photo. He was playing for the Atlanta Braves in Spring Training on March 30, 1957.
