The Rise with the Boston Red Sox
The Pitching Prodigy
Babe Ruth initially made waves as a pitcher, striking out batters faster than they could say “Bambino.” His arm was so strong, it was rumored he could pitch a ball through a brick wall—or at least through an opponent’s confidence. With the Red Sox, Ruth became a dual-threat superstar.
Switching to Slugging
Ruth’s transition from pitching to hitting was like turning a water pistol into a bazooka. His powerful swing turned games into home run derbies, and fans couldn’t get enough. The Red Sox had found their golden goose, even if he sometimes acted more like a mischievous fox.
