During his career with the Yankees, Babe Ruth was pinch hit for only once and that was by Bobby Veach in the 8th inning of the game against the Chicago White Sox on August 9, 1925. The reason goes that Babe was not feeling well.
Babe Ruth had one sister, named Mamie. Although his parents had eight children, Babe and Mamie were the only two that survived past infancy.
Babe Ruth played for the Yankees from 1920 through 1934.
Hank Aaron is the person who broke Babe Ruth's record. Hank had hit 755 home runs in his career, while Babe Ruth had only hit 714 home runs in his career.
Babe Ruth's best year is generally considered to be the 1921 season, in which he compiled the greatest statistical year in baseball history. He batted .378 with 59 home runs and 177 runs batted in. He had a record 857 total bases and an .846 slugging percentage. One more statistic is important which is that he led the American League in walks with 144.
At the time, Babe Ruth was the only player to hit 59 home runs, he accomplished this in 1921. He went on to break his own record in 1927 by hitting 60 home runs.
The only year that a walk counted as a hit when computing batting averages was 1887 -- well before Babe Ruth played.

Still Babe Ruth. He was a tremendous hitter and what makes him even more special was his pitching ability. In 1916 he was 23-12 with a 1.75 ERA! Its a rare combination. I'M NOT A YANKEES FAN...BUT MICKEY MANTLE WAS THE BEST YANKEE EVER...I LIKE IT WHEN I HERE PEOPLE SAY BABE RUTH IS THE BEST PLAYER EVER...HE (NOT ONLY) IS NOT THE BEST PLAYER EVER...HE'S NOT THE BEST YANKEE OR RED SOX. Babe Ruth was the champ. I'd say Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. If you want to talk about right now, I'd have to go with Derek Jeter. Either Mickey Mantle or Babe Ruth Neither the Babe nor Mickey is the best. Whitey Ford is the best Yankee ever. No, the best Yankees are Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada, Mariano Rivera and Andy Pettitte. If you want to go to the past, I'll say Lou Gehrig or Mickey Mantle, not Babe Ruth because he was a Red Sock and he wasn't a true Yankee. I love the Yankees they are the best and Babe Ruth is still the best player!!
If you mean Babe Ruth, the only ML team he pitched for was the Boston Red Sox and five games for the NY Yankees. The NY Mets were not formed until a good while after his death.
No, his birth name was George Herman Ruth Jr. He got the name Babe when he walked out onto Camden Yards with Jack Dawson, a fan screamed out "hey look, it's Jacks newest babe" and the name stuck.
No, he had five other brothers,
Babe Ruth's mother gave birth to 8 children, but only he and his sister, Mamie, survived infancy. So, no brothers. yo mammaqaaa
