From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.

This page details statistics, records, and other achievements pertaining to Babe Ruth. At the time in which Babe Ruth played, some of baseball's modern awards did not exist. The Division Series and League Championship Series did not exist. Until 1931, players who had already won the MVP award were ineligible to win it a second time.[1] The MLB All-Star Game did not exist until 1933, late in Ruth's career. At the time of his retirement, Ruth held many of baseball's most esteemed records, including the career records for home runs (714 — since broken), slugging percentage (0.690), runs batted in (2,213 — since broken), bases on balls (2,062 — since broken) and on-base plus slugging (1.164). At the time of his retirement, Ruth held many more records than are listed here.
