Babe Ruth

He helped the New York Yankees win seven World Series championships and set numerous records, including the single-season home run record of 60. Ruth's father, George Herman Ruth Sr., was a saloon keeper who died when Ruth was just seven years old. Ruth was raised by his mother and stepfather, but he always remembered his father and the lessons he taught him about baseball.

"My father was a great baseball player," Ruth said. "He taught me everything I know about the game. He was the one who inspired me to become a baseball player."

Ruth's father died when he was young, but his memory lived on. Ruth never forgot the lessons his father taught him, and he used them to become one of the greatest players in baseball history.

Griffey's father, Ken Griffey Sr., was also a Major League Baseball player. He played for the Cincinnati Reds and Atlanta Braves, and he was a two-time All-Star. Griffey Jr. grew up watching his father play, and he was inspired by his work ethic and dedication to the game.

"My father was my hero," Griffey Jr. said. "He was the one who taught me how to play the game and he was always there for me, no matter what. He was the one who pushed me to be the best that I could be."

Griffey Jr.'s father had a major impact on his career. He taught him the importance of hard work, perseverance, and never giving up on his dreams. Griffey Jr. used these lessons to become one of the greatest players in baseball history.
