Babe Ruth


On this date in 1916, the Browns beat the Red Sox 5-3 with Babe Ruth pitching 5 innings in relief.

"Babe Ruth made a grave mistake when he gave up pitching. Working once a week, he might have lasted a long time and became a great star." - Tris Speaker

I love that quote. It never gets old. Babe Ruth is probably my all time favorite baseball player despite the fact that he went on to play for the evil empire. For fans/collectors who share my sentiment I just read a really good piece on Babe Ruth collectibles that I would highly recommend checking out. It seems like more bloggers then normal are writing Babe Ruth related posts lately. Or maybe its just me. Either way I'm not complaining:)
