11 Babe Ruth

George Herman Ruth Jr., better known as Babe Ruth, was an American professional baseball player whose career in Major League Baseball spanned 22 seasons, from 1914 through 1935. The 1920s. You got to put this man in. He was not just a ball player, HE was an icon. Even Fox Business Channel did a 30 minute profile on him. His outrageous lifestyle off the field is the stuff of legend. Even Disney's Magic Kingdom's Carousel of Progress mention his name. Yankee Stadium turned out to be the perfect stadium for him to hit home runs and he did in the very first game in 1923, and it would be that stadium that would have helped him hit 60 home runs in that historic 1927 championship season. The one and only Sultan of Swat.
