George Herman Ruth; The Babe

This week BKP will present the life and baseball career of the face of baseball in the 20th century, Mr George Herman Ruth, better known as the Babe. Besides Jackie Robinson, no baseball player has had more influence on the brand of Major League Baseball, that we consume today, than the Babe. From his rough and tumble childhood, along the docks and water-ports of Baltimore, to learning the game of baseball in a boy's school for the incorrigibles, to thrilling the baseball universe with his skill, first as a pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, and then as one of the deadliest sluggers of all time with the New York Yankees. HIs is a story of apocryphal myth, and legend, shrouded in a cloud of reality. This is the story of Babe Ruth. #BabeRuth #StMarysIndustrialSchoolForBoys #JackDunn #BaltimoreOrioles #BostonRedSox #NewYorkYankees #BostonBraves #TrisSpeaker #MillerHuggins #HarryFrazee #JacobRupert #LouGehrig #CharlieRoot
