Too, too many stories about the Babe not taking care of his physique. Not really true. In 1925 Ruth was out of shape, his weight peaked up to 245 lbs,
and his "less than Ruthian" performance that year reflected this.
The Babe was determined to get back into shape. So, during the Winter of 1925 he started a rigorous physical training regime at a New York City gym.
And, every Winter there-after, Ruth continued this fitness program. By the start of the 1926 season, Ruth's weight was down to 205 lbs; and, in 1926
his fitness program paid him dividends.
Do the research, and you'll be amazed when you compare Ruth's performance from 1926 - 1932 with his performance during his younger years.
George Herman Ruth was the best there was circa 1915 - 1934. And, would be the best there is if he were playing the game today.
