With his towering 6-foot-2 frame and prodigious power, Ruth became known as the "Sultan of Swat," setting numerous records and captivating the nation with his electrifying performances.

The Mick: Mickey Mantle

Following in the footsteps of Ruth, Mickey Mantle emerged as another iconic home run hitter for the Yankees. Known for his switch-hitting ability and explosive power, Mantle was a feared opponent at the plate.

Throughout his illustrious career, Mantle hit 536 home runs, including a remarkable 54 home runs in 1961, tying the single-season record set by Ruth. Mantle's graceful swing and ability to hit the ball to all fields made him one of the most dangerous hitters in baseball history.

Maris's achievement was met with both admiration and controversy, as some questioned the legitimacy of breaking Ruth's record in a season shortened due to an expansion. Nonetheless, Maris's name forever etched in the annals of baseball history for his remarkable home run feat.
