Back on May 25, 1935 -- or exactly 80 years ago -- baseball's greatest player put together one final game of dominance. George Herman "Babe" Ruth would go 4 for 4 with six RBI and three runs scored in a three-homer game for the Boston Braves.

It was the last stand for the 40 year old. He would play in just five more games, going 0 for 9 and lowering his season line to .181/.359/.431. Even the greats slow down at some point, though his OBP and SLG were still nice, just not Babe-like.

As we all know -- but let's just put everything here so we can gawk -- Ruth's career stat line is staggering.

In 22 seasons, 15 of which famously came with the Yankees, Ruth hit .342/.474/.690 (206 OPS+!) with 2,873 hits, 506 doubles, 136 triples, 714 home runs, 2,214 RBI, 2,174 runs and even 123 stolen bases.

As a pitcher, Ruth was 94-46 with a 2.28 ERA, too. He also had seven World Series rings.

More? More. Here's where Ruth ranks in MLB history in the following categories:

WAR: 1st
Average: 10th
OBP: 2nd
Slugging: 1st
OPS: 1st
OPS+: 1st
Runs: 4th
Hits: 42nd
Total bases: 6th
Doubles: 54th
Triples: 71st
Home runs: 3rd
RBI: 2nd
Walks: 3rd
Extra-base hits: 4th
Times on base: 9th

Decent career. And it was 80 years ago when he had his swan song. Happy Anniversary, Babe. You continue to be missed.
