  • Babe Ruth: Milestone Home Runs
    General Admission Home Run Milestones for Babe Ruth by S. Derby Gisclair Member, Society for American Baseball Research The home run prowess of George Herman “Babe” Ruth is legendary. So are many of the home runs that he hit – towering shots that cleared the outfield fences in ballparks across the league. And the frequency with which he produced home runs is astounding: one every 11.76 at-bats, or roughly one home rune every 3.5 games. How many times did newspapers across the country feature a headline like this? Many consider Ruth the greatest player of all-time. He is certainly the greatest home run hitter the game has ever seen, the accomplishments of others like Hank Aaron and Willie Mays not withstanding. Debates will rage among fans and historians. Arguments involving SABRmetrics and other analytical methods will attempt to settle the matter in favor of one position or another. The simple truth is that Babe Ruth hit home runs more frequently during his career than any other baseball player, and in so doing he changed the way the game of baseball was played. As the game teetered on the edge of collapse because of the Black Sox scandal after the 1919 World Series, it was the home run heroics of Babe Ruth that kept the fans coming to the ball park. He drew crowds wherever he played. He made the game fun again. The following are brief excerpts about several of the home run milestones in the 22-year career of Babe Ruth. S. Derby Gisclair 1 404 Notre Dame Street – PH1 New Orleans LA 70130 General Admission May 6, 1915 Babe Ruth hits his first major league home run at the Polo Grounds in New York in the third inning, batting ninth in the order for the Boston Red Sox.

  • Frank “Noodles” Hahn
    BBaasseebbaallll HHiissttoorryy by Terry Cullen Member, Society For American Baseball Research Frank “Noodles” Hahn Baseball is rife with great baseball nicknames, especially some from the opening years of the 20th century – “Wagon-Tongue” Adams, “Eaglebeak” Beck, “The Connecticut Moistballer” Sherman, “The Gallatin Squash” Perdue, and “The Freshest Man on Earth” Latham – just to name a few. After noticing one such name – Frank “Noodles” Hahn – I decided to find out more about him. It turns out that Noodles made his major league debut on April 18, 1899, eleven days shy of his 20th birthday. The young lefthander quickly became the ace of the Cincinnati Reds staff by compiling a 23 – 8 record in his rookie campaign. The Reds, however, struggled to a 6th place finish. In 1900, Noodles would gain baseball immortality when he hurled the first no-hitter of the 20th century. He fashioned his 4 – 0 gem on July 12, 1900 versus the Phillies. In an unusual display of wildness, he walked five batters that day. For his career he would allow just 1.69 free passes per nine innings, good for 39th place on the all-time list. Another record setting day for Noodles occurred on May 22, 1901 when he fanned 16 Boston Braves in a complete game victory. This team standard would remain unmatched until 1963 when fireballing Jim Maloney would equal it. Despite Hahn’s heroics and 22 – 19 record, the Reds brought up the rear, finishing 38 games out of first place. His 22 wins represented 42% of his teams’ victories. Only one other hurler winning 20 games for a last place squad would surpass this.
