"Babe" Ruth
George Herman Ruth, Jr. born february 6, 1895 and died in august 16, 1948.
Best known as "Babe" Ruth and nicknamed "the Bambino" and "the Sultan of Swat"
My favorite "Babe" moment was when he hit the first home run in "Yankee Stadium" on April 18 1923
He hit 714 home runs during his career.
While everyone remembers Ruth as a slugger, it's worth noting that he started his career as a pitcher

Joe DiMaggio
Joseph Paul "Joe" DiMaggio was born november 25, 1914 and died in March 8, 1999
Nicknamed "Joltin' Joe" and "The Yankee Clipper"
DiMaggio was a three-time MVP winner and 13-time All-Star and the only player to be selected for the All-Star Game in every season he played.
At Baseball's Centennial Celebration in 1969, DiMaggio was named the "Greatest Living Player" in the history of the game.
Although to Yankee fans, DiMaggio is a hero, to the team's management, he was a pain in the neck. DiMaggio disrespected manager Casey Stengel, and frequently sparred with Yankee brass over his salary.
DiMaggio married Marilyn Monroe  on January 14, 1954 in San Francisco City Hall.

Ty Cobb
Tyrus Raymond "Ty" Cobb was born in december 18, 1886 and died in july 17, 1961
Nicknamed "The Georgia Peach"
As an outfielder and first baseman Cobb played for the Detroit Tigers and Philadelphia A's during his 24-year career. It's safe to say that no other hitter will match Cobb's accomplishments.
Cobb's legacy as an athlete has sometimes been overshadowed by his surly temperament and aggressive playing style, which was described by the Detroit Free Press as "daring to the point of dementia."
