I'm not old enough to have witnessed what Babe Ruth did on the baseball field (we just missed each other), but I'm pretty sure I know of a couple of things he didn't do.
I'm pretty sure The Babe never beat out a 114-mph ground ball into a shift, for example, running from home to first in 4.16 seconds. And even if he did (he didn't), I'm more than pretty sure he didn't follow it up by stepping to the mound and closing a game with multiple 100-mph pitches, including one that reached 102, before delivering a final-pitch slider that broke like a whiffle ball and made one of the greatest players in baseball history look foolish.
Those kinds of feats are reserved for one man, and one man only, across 151 years of Major League Baseball. It's what Shohei Ohtani did Tuesday night for Japan in the championship game of the World Baseball Classic — likely the most-watched baseball game in human history (ratings were not available as of this writing).
