On this day in history, September 30, 1927, Babe Ruth swats record 60th home run, shocks sports world
Fox News
Babe Ruth swatted his then-record 60th home run on Sept. 30, 1927. His total has since been surpassed by other players, but his achievement has only grown in stature across the decades.
In Ruth's 60-home-run season, no American League team hit more than 56 home runs. Home-run heroics by Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa coincided with baseball's ignominious Steroid Era. Ruth's batting achievements in the 1920s were so stunning they inspired a new sports adjective, "Ruthian." Kerry J. Byrne is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
"Babe Ruth’s 60 home runs hit in 1927 remains a monumental benchmark in the sport’s history," the National Baseball Hall of Fame writes, noting that the ball the Sultan of Swat hit with the record swing resides in Cooperstown today.
