Without Reggie Jackson, who had fled to the Angels, the Yankees would forsake the home run and become the Bronx . They wore special sweatpants and ran more wind sprints than ever.

.Baseball's first great slugger and the most celebrated athlete of his time. Ruth began his career as a star pitcher for the Boston Red Sox. "The Sultan of Swat" converted to the outfield full time after his sale to the Yanks in 1920 and led New York to seven AL pennants and four World Series titles. He finished with 714 HR, leading the league 12 times, including a remarkable 60 round trippers in 1927.  The three-time American League Most Valuable Player won 10 World Series titles as the Yankees' backstop and two more as a coach.
