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.

450MPH (to your heart)
CLC/Kep1er Choi Yujin
(first of all, happiest birthday to the utokki, fake maknae and the leader/mother of Kep1er, Yujin! this story will just another short story for tonight.)
Tumblr media
"STRIKE!"
The umpire would only shout, as you are again missed the swing on the bottom 9th. Your team, the Kiwoom Heroes are only a swing away from stealing the game away, and the chance to clinch the conference on a walk-off run or a grand slam with a loaded base.
"OPPA, DON'T FAZE OUT! WE ALWAYS WATCH YOU HITTING THAT BALL TIME AND TIME AGAIN!" your friends, especially the girls shouts on you. But they ain't ordinary girls, they were the girl group Kep1er, who attended your game as well.
Looking up at the table section is your noona, Yujin. In the past months, you always hanged out with her because you had the opportunity to stay on their dorms when your team comes to Seoul.
Yujin is the type of noona who always looks out for you way back on your high school days. She always fetch you out when your parents are not around for you to pick you up back home. On breaks, she would give you additional motivation for games.
During off days, you would join her on her classes and your classes as well to catch up on your missing activities and submit it with consideration for being a student athlete.
Back to the last series, you were on a cold streak, hitting 50% out of the throws you've taken. In the last innings, you managed to hit all 2 throws you've received. As well as stealing 3 bases to score the 2 of them. Even tried to play the outfield to erase the game-sealing home run to keep the game on your team's favor.
Here we are, 2-2 pitch. The girls are watching. Yujin is watching as well. The fans are waiting for a miracle for their team.
The relief pitcher throws the ball. Your grip swings to the left, hitting the ball. You then look to the direction to the ball, it's gone. Gone to the left, second tier seats.
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME-RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNN!
And it was all it wrote. A walk-off grand slam to the deep left, way out of the diamond. You calmly batflipped your way out of the bases, and your teammates are waiting for you. You then sprint your way to the home plate, throwing off your cap, and to the team celebrates.
During the celebration, the girls on the table section are also cheering for your first career walk-off and also grand slam as well. Yujin on the other hand, she was too ecstatic to watch how the guy who only looked at her as her noona, is celebrating his win with her. She knows that if she don't do it, it's all over for her.
Looking up, you see Yujin happy for you as well, so you decided to go to the direction where they are seated.
"Oh oppa, what a monster game you had! Can you teach me how to swing before you go?" that was the youngest, Yeseo asking. Looking back to the girls, Yujin come up and gives you a high-five.
"You know, you should give us some tricks for pitching", she said.
"Well, there's something I can do tomorrow", you replied.
After the win, you keep your promise and you take the girls to a baseball clinic where the girls can practice their throws and maybe some swings as well. Youngeun and Dayeon are good pitchers, and Bahiyyih, Xiaoting and Dayeon are good at swinging.
As you could only watch them how to play, Yujin came up to you.
"Hi", she said.
"Oh noona, you need something?" you asked.
"Well, I need to go back to the van to get their bottles. Will you join me as my carry boy?" she replied, mocking you in the process.
You could only laugh as the both of you went to the van, and pick up the girls' bottles to the break room. Yujin knew that it would be the chance to confess, so she answered the call.
"Y/N?" she asked, calling your attention.
"Yes noona?" you replied.
"Well, we know that we've been with each other's backs since we were kids. I don't even want to do this but I don't want to lose you as well. My feelings- I have feelings for you, okay? I love how you treat me, I love how you respect me as a person. For that, I want you to my partner-" you cut her off quickly with a hand grab to her forearm.
"I should've said it first noona. I love you too." that could you only replied to her as well, causing her to bawl and hug you at the same time.
"Yes Y/N-ah! I'll always love you, okay? I'll always look out for you." she said.
"Yes noona. In return, I'll support you everywhere you go." you replied.
After that, you then call the girls for a water break and you announced that you and Yujin are finally a couple. The girls celebrate for the biggest win of your life, and maybe your entire career as a baseball player.
"I might've just hit a home run to your heart."

Rickey Hill was raised in poverty in the area of Fort Worth, Texas. He was born with a degenerative spinal disease and doctors had doubts as to whether he would ever walk normally.
Rickey’s dream of becoming a professional baseball player began when he was a four-year-old with leg braces locked in place. His brother pitched fastballs with rocks and he would sometimes spend "16 hours a day" hitting them with a stick along the railroad tracks, striking as many as 2,000 rocks.
Baseball scout, Red Murff is known for discovering and signing Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan. He called Hill "the best pure hitting prospect he's ever seen." Hill and Red Murff became friends and remained close until Murff's passing in 2008. Hill even spoke at his funeral.
In 1975, at the age of 19, Hill was signed by the Montreal Expos but was released from the team. He played four seasons in the minors before it became too much on his body.
During his final year in the Minors, Hill racked up 64 hits and 15 homers across 63 games for Grays Harbor. Across his four seasons in the Minor Leagues (1975 Lethbridge Expos, 1976 Rio Grande Valley WhiteWings, 1977 Texas City and 1978 Grays Harbor) Hill recorded 205 hits and 26 home runs in 201 games with a .298 batting average.
Born Rickey Glen Hill on August 15, 1956 in Fort Worth, Texas. Through childhood experiences, his father, a Baptist preacher, along with his mother, shaped his character of faith, determination and resilience.
