Babe Ruth is like that fish you caught when no one was with you. The legend just grows a little each year.
He would be Cecil Fielder if he played today.

I think it's even better to look at the numbers compared to others , Ruth was a monster compared to his peers. In 1928 Babe hit some thing like 54 homeruns while the closest person had 27. Thats double. That would be like Sosa hitting 55 while McGwire hits 110.
