If you know a lot about Babe Ruth can you please answer this question?
Does anybody know any cool interesting facts about Babe Ruth's game in 1927 against the Pittsburgh Pirates? I'm doing an article on it, and I've been searching all over the internet, and books, but it mostly talks about a biography of him. I want to know more about that particular game. Would you mind helping me out? Thanks a lot.
In the 1927 World Series, the New York Yankees swept the Pittsburgh Pirates in four games. This was the first sweep of a National League team by an American League team.
That year, the Yankees led the American League in runs scored, hits, triples, home runs, base on balls, batting average, slugging average and on base percentage. It featured legends Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig at their peaks. The team won a then-league record 110 games, finished with a 19-game lead over second place, and are considered by many to be the greatest team in the history of baseball.
The 1927 Pittsburgh Pirates, with MVP Paul Waner, led the National League in runs, hits, batting average and on base percentage.
As legend has it, the "Murderers' Row" Yankees took a show-off batting practice before Game 1 in which they purposely rocketed as many as they could into the seats, while the Pirates team looked on. A stunned Lloyd Waner then turned to his older brother and opined, "They're big, aren't they?" Whether true or not (this was standard procedure for Ruth in any case), New York had little trouble dispatching Pittsburgh, who did not see another Series for 33 years.
The 1927 New York Yankees had perhaps the most feared line-up in the history of baseball. Nicknamed "Murderers Row," their batting order boasted the all-time great Babe Ruth at the top of his considerable powers, hitting .356 with a then-record 60 home runs and 164 RBI that year.
