The game of baseball is known as one of the most beloved sports in the U.S.A, the first official match being recorded in 1846. Babe Ruth, also known under the pseudonym "The Sultan of SWAT" due to the record number of home-runs, was one of the most well-known American athletes of his time, due to his agility to hit the baseball and to traverse the square in record time. One of his still unbeaten records, represents the number 457 of bases run throughout the 1921 season.
