About Babe Ruth's 700th Home Run
On August 13, 1934, Babe Ruth stepped to the plate in Detroit and drove a ball out of the park for the 700th time in his career, a number so staggering it left the baseball world speechless. Ruth had spent the better part of two decades turning the home run from a rarity into a spectacle, reshaping how the game was played and how fans fell in love with it. That summer afternoon in Detroit, the crack of his bat echoed like an exclamation point at the end of a career that no one before him had written.
