What baseball player played with both Don Mattingly and Mickey Mantle?

Answer 1

Phil Cavarretta played for the Chicago Cubs in 1934 and finished with the Chicago WhiteSox in 1955. Ruth last season with the Boston Braves was 1935 and the first season for Aaron was 1954 for the Milwaukee Braves.

Answer 2

Babe Ruth retired from playing Baseball in 1935, the yea after Aaron was born. Ruth died in 1948, six years before Aaron played his first MLB game.

It's hard to know how well the two of them would have gotten along if they had played at the same time. Aaron was consumately focused on the game; Ruth was a little more relaxed in his post-game attitudes.

Ruth's widow stated that "the Babe" loved the game so much, that he would have cheered as loud as anyone for Aaron to break his career home run record. In particular, Ruth -- a victim of racial taunting himself -- would have denounced the racial aspect of the attacks on Aaron.
