Babe……..Babe Ruth!

If you are a baseball fan or live in a house with one, you know that this time of year is really important in the baseball world and you also know that Babe Ruth is a household name!

Although Ruth attended St. Mary’s Industrial School for Orphans, Delinquent, Incorrigible and Wayward Boys in Baltimore, he wasn’t an orphan, but merely delinquent, incorrigible and wayward.

“Looking back on my boyhood, I honestly don’t remember being aware of the difference between right and wrong,” Ruth wrote in his autobiography.

Ruth’s parents were so overwhelmed with their “Bambino” that they sent the troubled youth to the Catholic school at age seven. The school had full guardianship of the boy, and it was there that he fell in love with baseball and signed a contract with the minor-league Baltimore Orioles on Valentine’s Day in 1914.

And the rest is history, for sure!
