I believe someone did the research and figured out that none of Ruth's HRs were off the bouncing varity. I may be wrong, but I think it's in the book "The Year Babe Ruth Hit 104 Home Runs."

Below-Copy and Pasted
Prior to 1931, a ball that bounced over an outfield fence during a major league game was considered a home run. The rule was changed to require the ball to clear the fence on the fly, and balls that reached the seats on a bounce became ground rule doubles in most parks.
