Dynamite drop-in - it is George Herman Ruth. In 1919 he hit 27 home runs, and pitched 166 innings for the red sox. Then he was sold for $100,000 to fund a broadway show, representing history's darkest day.
Ruth, it turns out, was a dominant left-hander, maybe even the best lefty in the not-koufax catagory . . . but alas that bastard could hit too well to let him pitch and wear himself out. I guess.
