💥Babe Ruth, home run hitter
Babe Ruth is famous for one reason: hitting home runs.
What’s less well known is all the times he didn't hit home runs.
The point is that Babe Ruth went to bat a hell of a lot, and he had a very high amount of strikeouts. In fact, despite his 714 career home runs, he also had 1,330 career strikeouts.
That’s a lot of misses, folks.
There was actually a long era where Babe Ruth had the strikeout record, not just the home run record.
His quote on this issue is perfect, however:
“Every strike brings me closer to the next home run.”
💡 Does his quote sound familiar to sales? 💡
"Every no you hear brings you that much closer to a yes?"
