Babe Ruth when a kid
At St. Mary's, Brother Mathias wanted the kids to learn a marketable skill to later help them through life.
Babe had a tailoring and heming job for which he was paid. Babe used the money to buy candy for all the kids. Even as a kid, Babe was a loveable teddy bear type and very popular. Dude taking his own hard earned money to buy candy for the less priviledged. I have a 4 year old, and his fondness of candy takes me back to my own youth when my sister and I would walk down to the 7-11, use our allowance to buy candy (and packs of baseball cards). Story goes even when Babe was all grown up, big and famous, he still tailored his own clothes.
