The biggest reason Ruth was able to get away with that is because he came up as a pitcher, so if he struck out and looked like an idiot, that was just to be expected. Had he come up as an outfielder, those big swings would have been coached out of him, and we might still be watching deadball era style baseball.
What would you say about today sissy game soon as the people enter the ballpark they want to leave stay-home it was known as America's national pastime
Everybody knows Ruth was a five tool guy who could hit for average. My point is that he was willing to strike often when there was significantly more stigma attached to striking out.
@@thebaseballprofessor The title of your video calls Ruth a failure. Hitting. 342 and 714 home runs is not a failure. I have never heard of anyone but you call Ruth a failure. Change the title of your video.

I hadn't considered that point of view before.
Cobb said that. But I believe it's wrong. Ruth was already free swinger in Baltimore. Jack Dunn didn't change him. Nobody would.
Play the game live the game love the game take some chances it's 50/50 you steal second base it brings him home
Ruth got a hit-and-run run signal on that which the batter missed.
You only live once!
