Ruth, one of the most iconic figures in sports history, set a single-season record with 60 home runs in 1927 and finished his career with 714 home runs, revolutionizing the game with his power hitting. While he did not serve as an official coach for the Brooklyn Dodgers, he did make a well-known appearance with the team during spring training late in his life.
