Who Was Babe Ruth?
By Joan HolubThis tells the story of George Herman “Babe” Ruth, a boy from a poor family in Baltimore who grew up to be one of baseball’s biggest stars. As a child, he got into trouble and was sent to a special school, where a kind teacher, Brother Mathias, helped him discover his love for baseball. By the time Babe was 19, he was already playing professional baseball. He played for the Baltimore Orioles, the Boston Red Sox and became super famous as a home-run hitter with the New York Yankees.
