Before Babe Ruth was born, it was the time of the Great Depression. People had hard times making money.

They had no hope. But Babe Ruth, a legendary baseball player, brought hope to people like a miracle.

Born in February 6th, 1895 in Baltimore, George Herman Ruth Jr. did not have a happy childhood. His family was poor but could afford going to school. In the school baseball team George played on many position and he was very good at all position. Like the early times, Babe Ruth was amazing at baseball to the high school times.

When he was 19, Ruth was accepted by the minor league team of Boston Red Sox, the Baltimore Orioles. He was so young that he was called “Jack’s Babe”. Since then he was called Babe Ruth. Babe Ruth played both on pitching and hitting. But after he was purchased by New York Yankees, he mostly played hitting. He was fantastic at hitting that almost every pitcher made him walk to first base. Babe Ruth had so many fans that the Yankees’ stadium was full of Babe’s fans. That’s why the stadium was called “The house That Babe Built” After he was put into Boston braves, he retired. After 13 years, he passed away peacefully at the age of 53.

Babe Ruth brought hope to sick and poor people and happiness to the people watching his game. He tried his best to play games and that brought an amazing result. He was able to be the best player in the world. He is a role-model for everyone. That’s because a trying the best is better than doing the 1st.
