He was the son of a saloonkeeper in Baltimore, Maryland, who lived a far from happy childhood. George was one of eight children, but only he and one sister survived childhood. His parents’ life focused on the saloon that was located at what is now center field at the Baltimore Orioles’ Camden Yards When he was just seven years old, his father turned custody of his son over to the Xaverian brothers who ran St. Mary’s Industrial school in Baltimore. While there, Brother Matthias became the father figure in his life as he encouraged the young George’s natural talent in the young sport of baseball as he was pitcher, catcher, and outstanding hitter for the school team.

BABE RUTH Baseball Player Ruth is the most celebrated player in baseball history. A home run king and fan favorite, Ruth was the first in a line of iconic New York Yankees which included Lou Gehrig Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle . Ruth began his career as a pitcher but moved to the outfield, where he gained fame as a slugger. After the Boston Red Sox sold him to the Yankees in 1920, Ruth became the most famous athlete in America. Ruth's larger-than-life personality (including a certain fondness for food and drink) was a hit with fans, and Ruth is often credited with making baseball the dominant American sport of its time. Ruth retired in 1935; he held the single-season record for home runs (60) until fellow Yankee Roger Maris hit 61 in 1961, and the career record (714) until Hank Aaron passed him in 1974. In 1948, like Gehrig before him, Ruth had an emotional farewell at Yankee Stadium, with the Yankees retiring his uniform number 3. He died of throat cancer two months later. Extra credit : Ruth was nicknamed "Babe" by teammates on his first pro team, the Baltimore Orioles... Other nicknames included "The Bambino" and "The Sultan of Swat"... The Red Sox have not won a World Series since selling Ruth to the Yankees, a result known as the Curse of the Bambino... Four Americans now have surpassed Ruth's single-season home run record: Maris Mark McGwire , Sammy Sosa and Barry Bonds ... Slugger Sadaharu Oh hit 868 career home runs in Japan from 1959-80, making him the international home run champ.

The BASEBALL RELIQUARY Inc BABE RUTH HOT DOG Babe Ruth’s extraordinary journey from a Catholic reform school in Baltimore to the storied confines of Yankee Stadium in the Bronx made him the idol of a nation. The ballplayer of ballplayers, Babe was also a man who indulged in earthly pleasures, as sportswriter H.G. Salsinger noted, “He could eat more, drink more, smoke more, swear more, and enjoy himself more than any contemporary.” A legendary gourmand, Babe was fond of drinking a quart mixture of bourbon whiskey and ginger ale at breakfast, before attacking a porterhouse steak garnished with half-a-dozen fried eggs and potatoes on the side. Perhaps no artifact of Ruthiana attests more to his culinary excesses than this desiccated hot dog, partially consumed by the Bambino during an eating binge just prior to his collapse on a train ride in April 1925. Babe reportedly gorged himself on a dozen to eighteen hot dogs before blacking out, and a week later he was at St. Vincent’s Hospital in New York, undergoing surgery for an intestinal abscess. New York writers termed his illness “The Bellyache Heard Round the World,” but in recent years historians have speculated that Babe actually suffered from gonorrhea and not acute indigestion.

The BASEBALL RELIQUARY Inc Babe Ruth Sacristy Box Babe Ruth was such an incomparable figure in the annals of American sport that author Donald Honig once remarked that had the Bambino not lived, it would have been impossible to invent him. The Baseball Reliquary's collection of Ruth artifacts includes a partially smoked cigar and a sacristy box used by a priest from St. Patrick's Cathedral to administer last sacraments of the Catholic Church to a gravely ill Babe Ruth at New York's Memorial Hospital on the evening of July 21, 1948. Remarkably, Ruth, who was dying of cancer, recovered overnight, and the next morning he joked with a friend, "Say, were you here yesterday when I nearly kicked the bucket?" In fact, the Babe felt well enough to leave the hospital on the evening of July 26 to attend the world premiere of his screen autobiography, The Babe Ruth Story , at New York's Astor Theater. Before the film was over, however, Ruth fell ill and had to return to the hospital. Ruth's condition steadily deteriorated and he fell into a coma at approximately 7:00 p.m. on August 16, 1948, a priest gave him a final blessing at 7:30, and he expired at 8:01 p.m. The funeral was on August 19 at St. Patrick's Cathedral with Cardinal Spellman presiding at the Requiem Mass. It was a very hot day in New York, and among the pallbearers were the Bambino's former Yankee teammates Joe Dugan and Waite Hoyt. "Christ," Dugan whispered, licking his dry lips, "I'd give a hundred bucks for a cold beer." Hoyt, nodding at the coffin, whispered back, "So would the Babe." The sacristy box was obtained by a former New York Yankees executive shorly after the funeral, and it remained in his family for many years.

Babe Ruth : Farewell to Baseball Address "The only real game I think in the world is baseball." delivered 27 April 1947, Yankee Stadium, New York Photo courtesy of http://www.vintagephotos.com/ Download Audio mp3 AUTHENTICITY CERTIFIED: Text version below transcribed directly from audio] Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen. You know how bad my voice sounds well it feels just as bad. You know this baseball game of ours comes up from the youth. That means the boys. And if you're a boy and grow up and know how to play ball, then you come to the boys you see representing themselves today in your national pastime. The only real game I think in the world is baseball. As a rule, some people think that if you give them a football, or a baseball, or something like that naturally they're athletes right away. But you can't do that in baseball. You've gotta start from way down [at] the bottom, when you're six or seven years of age. You can't wait until you're fifteen or sixteen. You gotta let it grow up with you. And if you're successful, and you try hard enough, you're bound to come out on top just like these boys have come to the top now. There's been so many lovely things said about me, and I'm glad that I've had the opportunity to thank everybody.
