The list of individual players who changed the game of baseball is a very short one. But 102 years ago this week, one of them did something previously thought impossible. When Babe Ruth hit his 28th home run, he ushered in a whole new era of power hitting and changed the course of both the rest of his life and of baseball history. Mike and Bill look back at the early part of the Babe's life, from the streets of Baltimore to the ballpark in Boston, and his first step toward immortality. Plus, happy birthday to Greg Hibbard and Ira Flagstaff!
