PHOTOS: Babe Ruth in Seattle

Babe Ruth batting in Dugdale Park, Seattle, October 19, 1924 George Herman "Babe" Ruth was well-known for being "the captain of the home run industry" and for his swaggering style. Upon his retirement in 1935, no one had hit half as many home runs as his record of 714 -- a record that stood for almost four decades.
