Before Babe Ruth there was Gavvy Cravath?
Clifford Carlton "Gavvy" Cravath was a star player for the Minneapolis Millers who won batting titles in the American Association in 1910/11 and also hit 29 homers in 1911, setting a Minor League record.
Cravath was already 31 years old when he joined the Philadelphia Phillies in 1912 but he still led the National League in home runs six different seasons.
Cravath's 20th-century record of 119 homers was broken by Babe Ruth in 1921.

"Babe Ruth once suffered the humiliation of having the great Walter Johnson of the Washington Senators throw three straight fastballs past him. He asked the umpire if he had seen any of the pitches. “No,” replied the umpire. “Neither did I,” said Ruth, “but that last one sounded kinda high to me.” Posing with their prize winning Roosters!!
