    Fact: Many of your facts are wrong.
    One example, he didn't lead the Yankees to
    seven world series championships, he won seven
    world series but 3 with the Red Sox. Another is he hit 60
    home runs in 1927 not 59, he wasn't a 12 time all star he was a
    2 time all star , that's because the first all star game was played in 1933
    he was however a 12 time home run leader and he
    only won MVP once not twice

    This video says Ruth was a 12x All-Star (he made 2 MLB All-Star teams). Wrong, he won 1 MVP, not 2. He won 4 WS championships with the Yankees, not 7 as the video says. I suspect many of the other "facts" are wrong too.

    He hit 59 home runs in 1919. 0:55, [ incorrect! ] & then you say 1:15, that he broke the single-season record in 1921 with 54 home runs (that’s mathematically incorrect, as 54 is less than 59) (and besides that the date of 1921 is incorrect) big thumbs down from me. 👎👎👎👎👎

    OMG there are so many things wrong with the "facts" here. If he set the single-season home run record with 54 in 1920, as the video states, how could he hit five more the year before. Furthermore, how could that be when the record he broke (29) was his own from 1919? How could he be a 12-time All Star when the first All Star Game was in 1933, and Ruth's last year was 1935? One MVP, not two. And...Baseball Reference lists him as only a 2-time All Star.
