Babe Ruth
When he joined the New York Yankees in 1920, Babe Ruth embarked on a home-run hitting campaign that would transform baseball and establish a record that would stand for nearly four decades.
In 1935, Babe Ruth joined the Boston Braves with the roles of player and assistant manager. He accepted this position with the hope that it would eventually lead to a full-time job as a manager, though he never received an offer to manage a big-league team. He finished his legendary career following the 1935 season.1
