BABE RUTH BIOGRAPHY |

|
George Herman Ruth was born in Baltimore, Maryland on February 6, 1895. His parents sent him to a reform school at the age of seven and he remained at St. Mary's Industrial School until he was nineteen. The owner of the Baltimore Orioles, Jack Dunn agreed to be his guardian and offered Ruth a contract for $100 a month to play for the Orioles.
Ruth's teammates nicknamed him "The Babe" and the name stuck.
In 1914 the Boston Red Sox purchased Ruth and made him a pitcher with their Providence farm club. After winning 22 games he returned to Boston. Ruth was one of the best in the American League from 1915-1917. He won 18 games for the Red Sox in 1915 and 23 games in 1916 to lead the Red Sox to a pennant. In 1918, he moved primarily to the outfield but still had a pitching record of 13-7 for the season. Ruth hit 11 home runs that year as well, which was a remarkable number for that time period. The following year he hit 29 home runs and swatted 114 RBIs. The Red Sox owner, Harry Frazee became financially strapped while putting together a theatrical project and as a result sold Ruth to the New York Yankees for $125,000 in December of 1918. The "Curse of the Bambino" was born and still haunts the Red Sox today. |
