Basically, what Babe Ruth did compared to today, is say Roger Clemens quit pitching at 27 after he'd won a couple Cy's and then went on to hit say 600 homers the rest of his career. We simply cannot comprehend Babe Ruth in today's standards. He was the best or close to the best pitcher in the game, yet was so good hitting, he stopped pitching.

He wasn't a good pitcher in his day...he was on his way to becoming an all-time great pitcher when he stopped.
