Babe Ruth, despite the tremendous numbers of home runs he hit and his record slugging percentage, was just a man. He was born in humble beginnings and he died of a disease that was most likely caused by bad habits when he was younger. Despite his character flaws, he rose above them and became greater than ourselves. He perfected the game of baseball and played so well he was like a machine. Despite his mortal body, his playing ability makes him immortal.
Heroes come and go, but legends never die.
