It's TRIVIA time....Babe Ruth
A subtle, but very effective, decision by Babe Ruth during his 22-year career. Can you tell us what this decision was ?
HINT.... this decision resulted in the Babe achieving what is seldom achieved in most Baseball players' careers. TED Z T206 Reference .

Quote:
David I like your answer, it certainly is true. But, it's my understanding that Ruth switching from Pitching to a full-time Hitter/Fielder was the Yankees decision (especially Mgr. Miller Huggins). Continue giving this quiz some thought....I think you may come up with the answer I'm looking for. TED Z T206 Reference .

George Herman "Babe" Ruth is the only one who holds this distinction in the history of Major League Baseball.

He claimed that the secret of his success and longevity in baseball were the result of his decision to put his pants on starting with them inside out. He would sit down, with his socks on, and begin pulling the pants up from the bottom left leg first, then right leg. He claimed that he made the decision to don his pants in this manner starting with his trade to the Yankees. "Secret of the Pants", by Paul Gallico, New York Daily News, October 3, 1927.
