Babe Ruth

When Babe Ruth was seven years old his parents placed him in St. Mary's Industrial School (Baltimore), an institution for underprivileged boys, were he learned to play baseball. He began to play semiprofessional ball in Pennsylvania and was signed by the Baltimore Orioles (International League) in 1914. That same year he was sold as a pitcher to the Boston Red Sox of the American League. The Babe never had to hold a second job as many of the ball players of the day. He played baseball for a living and it paid him well.

Seven - Ruth was the oldest of the eight. Of his seven siblings only one lived past infancy, a sister named Mary Margaret who was nicknamed Mamie.

He missed a home run

The Babe had a number of vices, he drank heavily, had a very foul mouth, ate way too much (which changed his physique from its initial lanky form to the tubby one that is often remembered) and tended to drive his car way to fast - crashing his car several times. He stayed out late, completely ignoring team curfews - often to the detriment of his normally amazing performance. Probably his worst fault though was his infidelity to his wife. He missed most of the 1925 season due to complications from Gonorrhea. Considering his constant womanizing, this is hardly surprising.

No. Through MLB games played on June 17, 2008 Babe Ruth is 87th on the MLB career strikeout list with 1,330. On the all time single season list, Babe Ruth is not in the MLB top 500. The most strikeouts he had in a season was 93 in 1923. He did lead the American League in strikeouts in 5 seasons (1918, 1923, 1924, 1927, 1928).

The Company that first produced the candy bar claimed it was named after Ruth Clevland but it's been heavily speculated that it was a way to capitalize on Babe Ruth's popularity without compensating him. The candy bar came out in 1921 when Ruth was probably the biggest celebrity in America and 15 years after Ruth Clevland had died. Ruth took legal action against the company to try to get compensation but lost. In the 90's Ruth's estate and Nestle actually made an agreement to use Ruth in their marketing.

I believe there are a few book. In 1948, Pocket Books published The Babe Ruth Story by Babe Ruth, as told to veteran sportscaster Bob Considine (Pocket #562, 1948). The cover shows "The Babe" and his distinctive home-run swing. This is a wonderful autobiography of the bad kid who grew up to be one of the greatest sports heroes and then tried to help other kids in need. The Babe dedicated the book "to the Kids of America."

Whitey Ford, was on the same team and could be the one who pitched to his own teamates!

Base ball!

Brother Mathias would have a very positive influence on George's life, despite his reputation for unruliness. Brother Matthias, a very large, muscular man, became an inspiration to George in baseball as well as in other aspects of his life. The time spent with Brother Matthias not only helped hone George's swing, but the guidance and encouragement gave him much needed support that would translate into George's unfettering love of children in later years.

Babe Ruth learned to play baseball at St. Mary's Industrial School in Baltimore when he was 7 years old.

Babe Ruth made his Major League debut with the Boston Red Sox on April 11, 1914. He was sent down to the minors twice that year, and was also a pitcher for the 1914 Baltimore/Providence Grays, a double A team in the international League. In 1915 he was in the Majors for good, playing with the Red Sox until 1919, and was then sold to the New York Yankees. He would play with the Yankees from 1920-1934, and the Boston Braves in 1935.

As far as is known, Yes. There have been periodic rumors about a racially mixed Ruth for a good number of years, but one notices that the responsible sporting press generally avoids the discussion. the First Black Player in the Majors, according to baseball history, was Jackie Robinson. There were no Blacks in Organized baseball in the years when Ruth was playing. If Ruth had been Black or even racially mixed, surely the magazines such as (Jet) and (Ebony) would have made a big thing about it.
