George 'Babe' Ruth, often regarded as one of the greatest baseball players of all time, played a pivotal role in the history of Major League Baseball (MLB). He began his career with the Boston Red Sox, where his exceptional hitting power and charismatic personality helped the team achieve early success. However, his controversial sale to the New York Yankees in 1919 marked the beginning of an 86-year championship drought for the Red Sox, a period that fans would later refer to as the 'Curse of the Bambino.' Ruth's legacy transcends baseball, as he became a national icon and a symbol of American sports culture.
