DENVER -- Babe Ruth became famous first as a pitcher and then a slugger, and a big piece of his legacy was how he excelled at both.
He pitched the Boston Red Sox to the 1918 World Series title before brandishing his Hall of Fame legend with the New York Yankees.
Baseball hasn't seen a playersince who can do both well until Los Angeles Angels phenom Shohei Ohtani came along. Now the superstar from Japan is going to do something even The Babe didn't -- start an All-Star Game as a pitcher and then switch to hitting when his mound moment is done.
