Babe Ruth Stories

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

A great source for Babe Ruth quotes is the 1930 book
titled "Babe Ruth....The Idol of the American Boy";
by Dan Daniels.

George Herman Ruth on how he really got his nickname.......

"I acquired the Babe part of my name the very day I reported
to the Orioles in 1914. Jack Dunn took me down to the field,
where the players were holding a morning workout, and turned
me over to his coach-a man by the name of Steinam.
He took a good look at me and then turned to the other players
and said, 'Boys, here's Jack's new Babe.' From then on I was
the Babe."
