Babe Ruth didn't become her father until 18 months after he married her mother, Claire, on April 17, 1929, Opening Day of the baseball season. Julia was 12 years old.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Babe Ruth is an icon, in sports and in our society.
Babe Ruth was great. I'm just lucky.
You don't have to know anything about baseball to respond to Babe Ruth because he's just this magnificent human being. And a really good story because he was this kid who grew up essentially as an orphan, you know, had a tough life, and then he became the most successful baseball player ever. But he was also a really good guy.
There is nothing like Ruth ever existed in this game of baseball. I remember we were playing the White Sox in Boston in 1919, and he hit a home run off Lefty Williams over the left-field fence in the ninth inning and won the game. It was majestic. It soared.
Don't try to tell Namath's people on First Avenue about Babe Ruth, because they don't even know the name. In fact, with the young, you can forget all of baseball. The sport is gone. But if you ever have seen Ruth, and then you see Namath, you know there is very little difference.
Ruth was probably the greatest athlete to perform in any sport. Never has there been anybody like him.
Don't worry about it. Babe Ruth struck out on occasion, too.
The first time that I ever saw Babe Ruth was in the Boston Red Sox clubhouse.
Honestly, at one time I though Babe Ruth was a cartoon character. I really did, I mean I wasn't born until 1961 and I grew up in Indiana.
My mother, Maxine, was married at 16 to my father Raymond, and in 56 years together, he was the only man she ever had.
