Babe Ruth

Many folks don't know he pitched perhaps the greatest WS game in history in 1916. He pitched a 14 inning gem and won 2-1. It was his first postseason start. 10 years later in the WS he was the 1st player to hit 3 HRS.

Other fascinating fact. He was the 1st player to hit 3 HRS in a regular season game in both leagues.

Still the greatest ever.
