Thoughts on another “Babe,” Herman

Surely no player can be compared to Babe Ruth, who of course hit 714 home runs and was a great pitcher before playing every day.

Yet let’s talk a bit about another “Babe” this one named Herman.

His .393 mark is the highest one season average in the long history of the Dodgers,

He hit for the cycle three times more than any player.

In an exhibition game he once pinch hit for the great Ty Cobb.

Babe would say on the play he drove in the winning run while most remember the game he doubled into a double play as the Dodgers ended up with 3 runners at third base including Babe, two declared out.

Babe Herman, pictured above was quite a hitter!
