Do 0 to 99 overall with babe Ruth
Ruth was actually pretty fast. He also wasn't fat until later in his career. The dude was a legit stud athlete and he stole a lot of bases. He also wasn't the pull hitter he seems to be here. He hit to all fields consistently.
He had 136 career triples. Barry Bonds only had 77. Kenny Lofton had 135. Ruth was an athlete. Swung a 54 ounce bat when today's Major Leaguers swing 32 to 34 ounce bats and those bats are carefully selected by the latest technology.
@someperson8151 latest technology?????
You mean a "tree"???
@@ajb9167 small iq take
The size/weight of his bat tells you his strength alone
@@ajb9167in your uneducated opinion, yes a “tree”
Before some people comment on if Ruth could play today all i ask is if you go outside and swing a 50 ounce bat and than imaging hitting 500 foot homeruns during the deadball era . The guy was kinda strong .
Random guy : yo what brand of shoes are those
Babe Ruth: oh it’s called the Abraham Lincoln 1s
he ran on a diet of beers and woman and still hit 60 hrs in a season
Yeah because he faced dog shit pitching where dudes throw 200 pitches a game and a breaking ball barely existed.
@@BirdGang6 He faced 20 hall of fame pitchers, the most in baseball history.
@@BirdGang6he hit a ball 550 with a crap stick bat
@Grizzlied555 Pitchers back then couldn't pitch in triple A today. Mid to high eighties, maybe, compared to what hitters see today, it's not even close. Them pitchers were bush league compared to today's starters.
@@John-mn9rp pitchers arguably got more movement out of their pitches back then not to mention cy young played around that time
This is how I've felt my entire life as a Cubs fan. Somehow they always find a way to lose. An even when they win they cut it close.
Among the greatest at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory
Yo I know what you mean bro I am a Cubs fan too
He was so versitile! He changed so much in his first three teams! When he got to the Yankees he was in god mode and he took it all the way. The other guys with him. . . Murderers row would be nasty today!
They would be garage
Who u talkin bout with His first 3 teams before he got to the Yankees? Wasn’t the Yankees the 2nd of 3 teams babe played for?
You better research your baseball history with who he played for and in what order.
In reality if Babe Ruth played today he would be Kyle Schwarber
If he played today he’d be dead
He'd be Vogelbach...
Facts😂
@@Dannyclips.yep
he'd be 105 points under the mendoza line isntead of 5
This guy is my go too snack and watch a vid
I could legit sit and watch your vids all day
If babe Ruth played today he would still have been the greatest of all time think about it like really think about. He would have adapted and would have grown up playing the game how it’s played today that is why people say you can’t take a guy out of the era because you have to play based on the style of game in its era same for ohtani it’s vice versa you really would never be able to tell unless the guy was born in todays era also that’s not to mention steroids could be at play too if babe was born today just imagine how many homers he would have hit.
That's not the scenario...it's taking Ruth how he was an putting him into today's game
@@dwaingambino1979 I guess I have to repeat myself again 🤦🏻♂️ YOU CANNOT TAKE A GUY OUT OF HIS ERA!!!! Obviously if you take babe Ruth out of his era exactly how he was then no shit he would have a difficult time that does not take much brains to realize but that’s not realistic and that goes for any player back then it’s how the competition is for each era like bro you really think ohtani would be the ohtani we know today? Same for babe
Overrated
@@mastermace7770 😂 your such a troll your not funny
@@mastermace7770no, he is not. Ruth is the greatest hitter in the history of the game. Only person that comes even remotely close is Ted Williams.
The outfield walls were like 450 to 475 back than
Baseball is a lot harder game today than it used to be, pitchers are throwing harder, foreign substances keep getting more advanced.
RGS always enlightens my day!
It is a great day when RGS Uploads
if Babe Ruth played today, he would have better training, preparation and lifestyle. Maybe his stats would be more impressive
It's always better when rgs uploads
News Flash: Guys pitched the same speed as they did 100 years ago
OMG ,Babe Ruth fell on his first MLB Homer, just pray he’s okay
I hated doing the rubber bands when I had my braces. I’d always start a yawn and then get interrupted by one, two or, all three of the bands breaking.
People are sometimes born with incredible talent and hand eye coordination.......regardless if it's in 2024 or 1904. Babe was born with freakish ability, and that ability combined with modern training and equipment would result in a stand out player today.
He would be just fine in todays game.
Ruth would hit .200 today and struggle to hit 20 homers, but only because he's dead.
What made Ruth great was extremely quick hand eye coordination, which led to a quick swing and reaction. With zero sports science available back then, if you look at this swing, it was actually really mechanically sound. You take his genetic abilities, and that swing, and put him through today's training and sports science, he would be a beast. Because what made him genetically an extremely difficult out back then would absolutely translate to today. In fact, trained up to today's MLB standards, his genetic gifts of reaction time and his superhuman hand eye coordination may have made him able to hit 100 plus mph pitchers more efficiently than the average major leaguer today.
The babe also played in the DEAD BALL ERA!!!! If he played with some of the juiced balls from today he would have launched many more bombs!!!!!
I saw where babe Ruth lived in Baltimore, when I was going to orioles game I got a pic at his house.
Also, Ruth's bat was almost 50 oz. What would he do with say a 38 oz. He most likely would still hit 70 hr and bat 400. Several hundred of him flying out would now easily clear the fence.
Fun fact: Babe Ruth was actually a really fast runner
Blud was caught stealing to end the World Series💀 but fair
That was what Tommy Lee Jones' character Ty Cobb said about Babe Ruth in the movie Cobb. After dissing Babe Ruth when chatting with Al Stump (played by Robert Wuhl), Al Stump asked him if he would give credit to Babe Ruth on playing the game of baseball on something. Cobb finally relented and said, "Yeah....he ran well for a fat man!"
@@magicwanddd have yet to see that movie maybe I’ll check it out
@@JHC777 You gotta see the movie. If you like a lot of the slapstick, pantomime type of humor, this movie is for you. However, if you have kids that are before 12 years old, viewer discretion advised. Lots of vulgarities and profanities, but for a Cobb movie, what else would you expect?
@@magicwanddd yeah I’ll def watch it like on Monday so no kids since school
Day 5 of telling rgs how fire his content is
Ruth was probably the greatest, not only a great hitter he was a great pitcher for some years. He held a record for scorless innings in the world series until whitey Ford broke it in the the 1960s. Goat!!!!
damn bro, you are a GOAT rgs! keep up the wonderful content my brother!
I have been waiting for more rgs let’s go
Everyone mentioning ruths triples, he played in polo grounds, a lot of those triples would be doubles or even singles in a modern ballpark
He only played in Polo Grounds for like 2 seasons though. I don't think the disparity is as bad as you seem to think it would be
You really don't know much about the man do you? Maybe educate yourself instead of what you've heard
I loved this video great job. keep it up! But I wonder if you could do a setup tour??
LETS GOOO Another banger🔥🔥🔥
If Babe Ruth was in modern baseball, he’d have 1,000 home runs. Easily.
No if they put prime babe Ruth in the mlb now he wouldn’t even get 1
Bro would have a heart attack if he saw a 90mph slider
Overrated
Ok, now that’s just not right. I agree he would probably still have 700-800 homeruns, though.
@@spacedude1145 Not even close
He still holds the record for most consecutive scoreless innings pitched in the WS, 27 innings without allowing a run.
It was 29 and two thirds innings, broken by Whitey Ford.
No Whitey Ford broke that
If Babe Ruth played in today's MLB he'd whiff at every pitch over 100 mph cause he never saw anything like it in his day.
a sub you’ve earned. this vid was funny and entertaining
3:22 💀
Day 2 of asking for you to have the worst team to get 116 wins or more btw I subbed
As Harrison Ford would say: [ " Watch Sandlot, kid" ].
My brother created a Roy Hobbs strat-o-matic card. My God he was phenomenal.
phillies why phillies
I'm just curious how he'd do against minorities. He was so talented I'm sure he'd have a fine career, but it wouldn't have been as prolific. I see him somewhere between Kyle Schwarber and Jim Thome.
This argument gets thrown around a lot, but consider that the converse is true..the other leagues didn't have to contend with MLB players anymore than MLB players had to contend with them. At the end of the day, we only have to world and the past that happened.
@@mattwhite4302 MLB Players and Negro Leaguers played countless games against one another during the offseasons. And from what I've heard and read, the Negro Leaguers usually came out on top! That's one thing that kills me about that dark segregated era....~70% of MLB players polled in the 30s said they would welcome Black players. Most of these guys were not racist. It was the owners who shut it down. Well aside from Branch Rickey of course. Anyways...I was just speculating about Ruth. I don't deny the past. I'm very well versed in it. Believe me.
His greatness surpasses color... kinda sad this is actually something that you think of.
@@IvarTheBoneless13 Kinda sad white owners wouldn't let Blacks play til 1947, but go off big guy.
@@IvarTheBoneless13no it doesn't. Just another overrated white man
i love watching ur vids!!
Can someone let me know what's the background music name at 1:53-2:12. Thanks.
First off, the players of today couldn't have played big league ball in Ruth's day.
What a joke.
Baseball scholar Bill Jenkinson wrote a book called "The Year Babe Ruth Hit 104 Home Runs". Read that book and it will set you straight on Ruth.
Ruth was a freak of nature and hit more home runs than entire teams and many 500+ foot HRs off less velocity.
Ruth would have hit a 1000+ HRs today.
Not the Abraham Lincoln 1’s
I love that Marlins hat😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
You should play a round of who had the better career pitching stats: Mariano Rivera Vs Babe Ruth. It's pretty funny.
Back when Ruth was playing it took the pitcher 20 minutes to go through his wind up so Ruth had plenty of time to watch the pitch. if David Ortiz can make it the Babe probably can too.
Overrated
Its a good day when rgs updates
Just as long it took to get his homeruns it take you to do the same😂
Players today are playing in much smaller ball parks with a juiced up rocket ball vs spacious ball parks Baseballs then we’re barely hard enough to keep their shape when hit. That is why players before the 1940’s had to swing 40oz bats to strike the ball with enough force to propel it to the outfield. No one not no one could swing Babe’s bat and do what he did in the ball parks he played. Instead of projecting yesterday’s players in today’s game…let’s take today’s players and put them in yesterday players environment. Hugh spacious ball parks, soft baseballs, heavy bats, train rides, day games, and a strike zone that was at the knees to arm pits. A lack of physical conditioning, no nutrition, and no supplements…to aide the body to be stronger….today’s athletes have all the advantages that players up to the 1970’s didn’t have, advanced equipment, favorable changes in the rules….small ball parks, small strike zones, etc….
I was so excited when he pulled the cubs note: I’m a cubs fan
Allot of things was different during Babe Ruth’s time he played through the dead ball era and he had a 44.6 ounce bat today the bats are between 33 and 36 ounces. Several things I think would not be able to count for in a simulation.
Far more often Ruth's homers went out to the power alley in right center (429 feet) or center (490). Left center, the original Death Valley, was 470 feet from home plate, and Jenkinson's research shows Ruth often hit fly balls in that direction because he was usually pitched that way.
Loud outs, those usually were. Best case, they padded his career triples total of 136, or a whopping 59 more than the once-speedy Bonds has.
"I really want people to know how often this happened," Jenkinson says. "It was a regular occurrence."
Here's another nugget: Bonds has hit 35 homers of 450-plus feet, all but three since Opening Day 2000. And those three, Jenkinson says, all were wind-aided according to government data.
Ruth? He hit at least 245 balls of 450 feet or more, by Jenkinson's count. Jimmie Foxx is a distant second at 115.
"As a power hitter Ruth just dwarfs everyone in the history of baseball," Jenkinson says. "There's nobody even close. As great as we believe him to have been, he was even better."
Jenkinson’s the guy who wrote the babe Ruth 104 homeruns book, right?
The Babe would have brought the homers still. Also could have played third baseman like nothing. Not to mention DH where he would be the greatest at it.
Babe would suck because he smoked in the dugouts
i bet that he would do just fine bc he would take care of his body more.
@Rgs how do you make a custom person, do you need gamepass?
that was a nasty knuckleball
abraham lincoln 1s is wild
Ruth is the greatest all time. A lot of his records still stand, despite being in a sport with 20,000 people. He would dominate now just like he did then. He would be at the top. Period. End of.
Otahni isbatter
@@tannagriger8209 Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha 🤣😅😂
@@Grizzlied555 hes right babe would prob only get like 5 hits that would be at the end of the season
@@MASTER-JACK HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA 😂🤣😅😂😅🤣
@@MASTER-JACKnice jokes
I have a question how do you play road to show with the mlb player
24:47 what are the Phillies cooking up?
MLB the Show does custom character dirty, if you aren't constantly updating their ratings it tanks them
Give Ruth 6 months of today training and medicine, he would still be belting 30 plus runs a season and 100 RBI 😅
Guys he’s almost 100k!!!!!!!
As a cubs fan I am happy
It would be interesting to take Babe Ruth's Strat-O-Matic card from 1920 or 1927 and put it on a team today.
It of course is not a perfect way of seeing how he would actually do, but it would be fun, I think.
I AM A CUBS FAN! LETS GOOO
U should do Jackie Robison
Fun fact: the Cubs hold the record for biggest choke in MLB history
Also I can confirm their bullpen can and will give you heart attacks every single day
How do you get updated rosters in mlb the show?
Babe Ruth is The goat😂
Great vid ❤
Dude in reality babe Ruth would be smoking too much Taht when he got hit by a pitch bro would cough up blood
He was a legend in his era but would be an average to above average slugger today. You have to remember the competition he went against.
What mode are you doing this in?
Hey rgs, can you play the career of Francisco Alvarez?
Why did babe Ruth collapse 😂😂😂😂
My favorite team is the cubs
Alejandro Kirk
LOL
Ohtani to SD is proof that SDS is biased. Especially considering their franchise is failing
You should do a subscribers career lol I’d volunteer to go first if you want haha
Also great video by the way!
Thank you!! 🙏🙏
Ruth would be the equivalent to Joey Gallo more than Shohei! Sub .200-.230 average, big HR numbers but big K numbers as well with a decent OBP! Off speed pitches will be his kryptonite!!
Pitchers in his day threw more curves, and off speed pitches then todays pitchers even know exist.
If Babe played today, he'd not only win the Triple Crown every year, he'd win every hot dog-eating contest, literally eating Joey Chestnut under the table.
The first thing he would have to do is lose the heavy bat he used unless he wanted to strike out a whole lot because pitchers today are so far ahead of what he faced back then. Imagine trying to catch up to triple digits when you were used to seeing mid to high eighties with a bat much heavier than anyone uses today. NOT HAPPENING!
why is Aaron Nola not on the Phillies??
Can someone help? What mode was this done in? My year old wants to do this with Ruth but I have no clue how to do it. sincerely,a dad from the Super Nintendo era.
Happy to help, was done in Franchise mode using the player lock feature when going into games
@@RealRGS thanks!!!!! We just subscribed as well.
@@RealRGS how did you select Ruth as the player that was going to be placed on whatever team the wheel landed on? How did you get him as an option? So confused over here…
@@JohnSpagnola-mv4cxgo into the vaults, select players, search babe Ruth, download him, go to the roster control, select any team then press import player, then save the roster, than go to the home page, press the “Y” button on franchise, then click saved rosters :)
Ruth wouldnt make a team today. If you put any mlb player today on a team back then he will hit a homerun almoat every at bat. Its just a way different game now
I don't like the Cubs can you do a New York Yankee video🙏
NICE HAT
Why did you make a babe Ruth you could have just taken him from the mid century groundbreakers
Oh, I hit a home run about 100 m meters
As a Cubs fan I feel offended
Do u think u could stll get his shoes
"He played in the 1910's, 20s's and 30's. It is safe to say that everybody in the modern day is way better than those guys."
Bro were you there? 🤣🤣
1000th like for you good vid 😊
Today's Players aren't better than modern, it's just that there's more great athletes nowadays, you gotta consider that baseball players had to work real jobs durin the off season, which had both positive and negative effects on their game.
babe ruths eyes are so wide apart
your pfp is so good🤑
