What made the difference for the Babe was he could play baseball almost every day. That was the beginning a lifelong habit that would result in him becoming one of the greatest ball players in history.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">The school had the feel of a prison about it but years later <a href=\"http:\/\/www.baberuth.com\">Babe<\/a> called it his real home. He came and went from St Mary\u2019s until age 20 when he left to join the Baltimore Orioles where he was one of their best pitchers. By 1914, he was so good the Orioles traded him mid-season to the Boston Red Sox.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">In 1916, he led the league in earned run averages and already was one of the best pitchers in baseball. In 1917, he pitched 24 games and his team went on to win the World Series in 1915, 1916, and 1918.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u201cI have just one superstition,\u201d he said. \u201cWhenever I hit a home run I make certain I touch all four bases.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">In 1920, after Boston sold him to the Yankees, Babe moved to the outfield and became a full-time hitter. He was sold for $125,000 the largest sum any team had ever paid at that time for a player.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">In New York his fame skyrocketed. <a href=\"https:\/\/sabr.org\/bioproj\/person\/babe-ruth\/\">Babe <\/a>swung the heaviest bat, earned more money than any other player and also got the most fines.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Wearing custom-made suits, driving fast cars and throwing wild parties he was the talk of the town and newspaper men followed him everywhere.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u201cI swing as hard as I can, and I try to swing right through the ball\u2026The harder you grip the bat, the more you can swing it through the ball, and the farther the ball will go. I swing big, with everything I got. I hit big or I miss big. I like to live as big as I can,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">A fire swept through Babe\u2019s beloved St. Mary\u2019s in 1920 and almost every building burned to the ground. With Babe\u2019s help 50 boys from the school\u2019s band played nightly for the final two weeks of the 1920 Yankee baseball season. Crowds were delighted to donate money to help rebuild the place where it all began for Babe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">During the roaring 1920s Babe was a symbol of everything \u201cbig\u201d about America and he was also a real-life hero for boys in orphanages all across America.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u201cI thank heaven we have had baseball in this world\u2026the kids\u2026our national pastime,\u201d he said<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">On April 24, 2021, <a href=\"https:\/\/huntauctions.com\">Hunt Auctions<\/a> featured a selection of Babe Ruth items in its auction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Here are some current vales.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Babe Ruth<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Photograph; sepia toned; Babe at Bat; 1931; six inches by 8 inches; $1,410.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Baseball; Ruth signed, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lougehrig.com\">Lou Gehrig<\/a> and others; Babe Ruth Home Ruin Special model ball; circa 1930s; $4,700.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Photograph; black-and-white; Ruth in Home Uniform; circa 1933; $5,288.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Baseball; Ruth single-signed; Ken Wel Collegiate League ball; 1934; $8,225.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Baseball Card; Goudey #53; classic issue; crisp likeness of Ruth; $15,275.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At St. Mary\u2019s Babe was expected to do his homework and follow the rules like the other kids in the orphanage.
