Ruth originally signed for the Boston Red Sox as a starting pitcher but he was sold to the New York Yankees in 1920 and was converted to a full-time right fielder. He was one of the league’s prolific home run hitters and he had helped the Yankees win seven pennants and four World Series titles. In 1935, he retired after a short stint with the Boston Braves. After a year, he became one of the first five players to be elected in the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
