I'm responding to an email I received regarding Babe Ruth's fitness program. There are too many stories about the Babe not taking care of his physique.
This is not really true. In 1925 Ruth was out of shape, his weight peaked up to 245 lbs, and his "less than Ruthian" performance that year reflected this. The Yankees fell to 7th place in 1925; and, Miller Huggins had run out of patience with Ruth. Huggins disciplined Ruth and advised him to "shape up". The Babe was determined to get back into shape. During the Winter of 1925 he started a rigorous physical training regime at a New York City gym. And, every Winter there-after, Ruth continued this fitness program. By the start of the 1926 season, Ruth's weight was down to 205 lbs. In the 1926 season, his fitness program started paying dividends.  TED Z .

Huggins
Thanks for the info about Huggins. I never knew that about his influence on the Babe. That's why I love this site!! Here's one of my Huggins:

I don't have a Huggins, but all of these stories about his influence on and relationship with Ruth/Gehrig makes me want to buy a Huggins card. I had no idea!
Great stuff everyone!

1923 was a great year for Miller Huggins and the Yankees. It was their 1st season playing in Yankee Stadium and the Yankees won their first World Championship.
The Scorecard in my World Series program is scored (4th game which was at the Polo Grounds). Yankees won it 8-4. In the 6-game Series, Babe Ruth batted .368 with 8 RBI's and 3 HR's.  .. TED Z .
