Babe Ruth
Babe Ruth, also known as "The Great Bambino" or "The Sultan of Swat," was a legendary baseball player who rose to fame in the early 20th century and became one of the most iconic figures in American sports history. Born George Herman Ruth Jr. in Baltimore, Maryland, on February 6, 1895, he grew up in a working-class family and spent much of his childhood in reform schools and orphanages. Despite his challenging upbringing, Ruth developed a passion for baseball and displayed exceptional talent at a young age, which eventually led to his professional career in the major leagues.Babe Ruth's baseball career is regarded as one of the most legendary in the history of the sport. He began his career as a pitcher for the Boston Red Sox before being traded to the New York Yankees in 1920, where he quickly became known for his powerful hitting and record-setting home runs. Ruth's influence on the game of baseball cannot be overstated - he revolutionized the sport with his unique approach to hitting and his larger-than-life personality, which helped make him a beloved cultural icon. Throughout his career, Ruth set numerous records, won multiple World Series championships, and was regarded as one of the greatest players of his time. Even today, nearly a century after his career began, his impact on the sport of baseball is still felt, and his legacy as one of the greatest players of all time continues to inspire athletes and fans around the world.

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth. So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her. For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces.
