Early Life and Career

Babe Ruth was born in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1895. He grew up in a poor family and was often in trouble with the law. Ruth's father died when he was 7 years old, and his mother placed him in St. Mary's Industrial School for Boys.

At St. Mary's, Ruth began playing baseball and showed a natural talent for the game. He was signed by the Baltimore Orioles in 1914 and made his major league debut in 1915.

Ruth was a successful pitcher for the Orioles, but he began to develop his hitting skills and was soon converted to an outfielder.

New York Yankees

In 1920, Ruth was traded to the New York Yankees. This was a turning point in his career and the beginning of a legendary era for the Yankees.

Ruth was an immediate success in New York. He led the Yankees to six World Series championships in 10 years and became one of the most popular athletes in the world.

Ruth's 60 home runs in 1927 is one of the most famous records in baseball history. He also holds the record for most career home runs (714) and most RBIs (2,213).

Later Career and Legacy

Ruth's career began to decline in the late 1920s, and he was traded to the Boston Braves in 1935. He played one more season with the Braves before retiring in 1936.

Ruth was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1936 and was one of the first five players to be inducted.

Babe Ruth died in 1948 at the age of 53. He is considered by many to be the greatest baseball player of all time and is one of the most iconic figures in American history.
