Ruth was drafted 16th overall in the 1913 draft by the Cincinnati Reds. He played 8 seasons in Cincinnati and was a very good player. In 1924, he was released by the Reds because of another outfielder coming up and he signed a 5 year deal in New York With the Giants. It would turn out to be the best move that the Giants would ever make. Ruth had a run starting in 1922 with the Reds that lasted into the 1933 season of playing in the World Series. He played 11 seasons with the Giants before signing in Boston with the Red Sox for 1 season.

Ruth was only a 3 time all star but won 10 MVP awards, which is a record in my league. One of the most powerful hitters of all time, Ruth was hampered by injuries over his whole career and rarely played his full amount of game. Even though, his names are all over the career leaderboards and was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Here are his career totals.

GP 2370 AB 8336 R 2127 H 2818 2B 366 3B 121 HR 657 RBI 2129 BB 2211 SO 1165 SB 125 AVE .338 OBP .474 SLG .647 OPS 1.122

Ruth is the Career Leader for Ave, On Base, Slg, OPS, VORP, and Rbi's.
