Title
English: Babe Ruth at bat in Dugdale Park, Seattle, October 19, 1924.
Description
English:

George Herman "Babe" Ruth was well-known for being "the captain of the home run industry" and for his swaggering style. Upon Ruth's retirement in 1935, no one had hit half as many home runs as his record of 714 -- a record that stood for almost four decades. In this photograph from his visit to Seattle in 1924, Ruth is batting during a game at Dugdale Park.
