The Babe


The Babe.

Babe Ruth was one of the best baseball player. From the age of 7 in 1902 until 1913 he was sent to St Marys Industrial School until Baltimore Orioles picked him up in 1914 which he was traded to Boston Red Soxs after only two weeks. During that time in life at the industrial school, he was picked on by all of the kids due to his weight. While there his love for baseball began. In 1914 with Boston he hit three home runs that day against the New York Yankees. Every since he stated that " He loved to hit home runs." Every time he got up to bat the saying was " There she goes" time after time, and the race for the home runs started.That season they went on and played against the Chicago Cubs and won the first World Series. After Boston he was traded to the New York Yankees. Since then time after time, bat after bat you could hear people yelling and rooting the Babe on as he got closer and closer to the title.He did it. He got the title that season with 49 home runs that year.Then came along this nice well dressed young man named Lou Garrett.Now he and the Babe did not like one another at first. You see this young man was also going for the record. Boy I would have loved to had been at those games and just see the power of the bat. But Babe just wasn't in for the game. He had love for children too. I guess it's because of when he was at the Industrial school, and just loved kid's. Meanwhile both he and Garrett continued to hit more and more home runs.Before Babe finally did manage to get more he retired and played with the Braves as a player- assistant coach. That year he had went to see this small little boy who was sick and dying, and the kid had told the Babe for him to hit three more homers. So the next day the amazing shot of Babes career he pointed to the right fields bleachers which no one has ever done before and hit one out the right field seats to end his career.
