To expand my comments, Mr. Ruth was called a variety of names during
the peak of his career, including The Bambino, The Sultan Of Swat,
and, of course, The Babe,
Other names included "the Wali of Wallop", "the Rajah of Rap", "the
Caliph of Clout", "the Wazir of Wham", The Colossus of Clout,
Maharajah of Mash, The Behemoth of Bust, "The King of Clout", "The
Colossus Of Crash", "The King Of Swing", "The Terrible Titan" and
"The Kid of Crash".
Then and now, he remains respected as one of the most accomplished
in his field as to the application of the the art of physics,
geometry, logic, philosophy, physiology, social anthropology, and
psychology.
He made quite a splash in his time.
