Didn't factor into Babe's homers much, his pulled homers tended to be moon shots that kept going and going (his first 16 home home runs in '20 either went over the Polo Grounds roof or into the upper deck). Gehrig was more affected by it, hitting mostly line drive homers, often with topspin. Babe was a spray power hitter, and the other dimensions of YS killed him, although it added a few doubles and triples here and there.
There's a ton of info on Babe we've put together over in the history section in the "Babe Ruth General" thread. http://www.baseball-fever.com/showth...ight=Babe+Ruth
