In the 1918 World Series vs the Chicago Cubs, Babe Ruth hurled a 6-hit shutout in Game 1. In Game 4, the Cubs scored their first run in the 8th inning to break Ruth's record string of 29 1/3 scoreless innings. Ruth's mark stood until 1961 when Whitey Ford broke it.

Babe was also a pitcher... how many strikeouts does bonds have?

Thanks Echo. I was about to make that point.

Ruth was one of the very best left-handed pitchers in baseball at the time - when pitchers dominated the game. He still has one of the best winning percentages all time.

In my opinion, Ruth was the greatest all-around player in the game’s history. No one else has mastered the games two most important skills: hitting and pitching.

Note that Bonds was an excellent fielder in earlier years, as he often turned opponents doubles into singles.
