New York Mets fan favorite Daniel Vogelbach has become one of the fun favorite players to watch in the MLB. Look at the way he hustles to score on the base paths!
Since the Mets acquired Vogelbach from the Pirates earlier this season, the team has won 14 games and lost just twice. If they kept that pace for the entire length of a 162-game season, they would win somewhere between 141 and 142 games.
Vogelbach, of course, isn’t directly responsible for all fourteen of the victories for New York. He gets help from stars like Francisco Lindor, Pete Alonso, Max Scherzer, Edwin Diaz, Jacob deGrom, and manager Buck Schowalter.
Vogelbach, however, is well-deserving of the cult following he has earned during his time with the Mets. He has played so well that one fan made an infographic comparing him to Babe Ruth:

The reasons are hilarious and leave me convinced that, yeah, Vogelbach is better than The Great Bambino. Just look at all of the evidence!
Other fans have compared Vogelbach to the Hall of Famer as well, and you can see some of the best tweets making the side-by-side below:

The @Mets Daniel Vogelbach had one purpose in the game of baseball and proved it. For all those people who say Babe Ruth couldn't play in today's game of baseball, he has proven you all wrong. #TheBabe #LGM #DunkinDonuts

What if, hear me out, we just start referring to Daniel Vogelbach is “The Babe” and pretend we have NO idea why Yankees fans are upset about it #doughnutthoughts
