A long came some legends

Baseball was developing at a vast rate. The world series was becoming a huge deal, as teams like The Chicago Cubs and Boston Red Sox's are usual's competing for this prized possession. Ironically the Cubs have not won that trophy in one hundred and two years! The Red Sox's didn't win it for 86 years till they came back and won it in 2004. They were believed to be cursed. They called it the curse of Bambino. Bambino of course is the man everyone should know, the great Babe Ruth. In 1918, The Boston Redsox's made a trade of this living legend. They had traded him to The New York Yankees. The rest is history as The Yankees have gone on and won 27 world championships since then. From the house that  Ruth built, to the new ground also known as The House that George built. In recognition of the late owner George Steinbrenner. But Babe Ruth had a remarkable career hitting 714 homeruns, a career batting average of .342 and an astonishing 2,213 Runs batting in. He was an easy first time hall of famer. Him and a guy known as Ty Cobb.  Second on the all time hit list with 4,189, a career average of .366. Remarkable stats to say the least. Then comes another Yankee great the "Iron Horse". Lou Gherig another man who had a remarkable but short career. He was another easy first time hall of famer, with 493 homeruns, 2,721 career hits and 1,995 career runs batted in.  He died at the young age of 37, with the disease formerly known as Lou Gherig disease, which is when your body starts to lose strength, decay slowly leading to death. These three man have a huge impacts on making this sport as grand as it is today. With their key contributions, these guys have left a trademark and a big one and have influenced many more of the greats!
