Babe Ruth

Babe Ruth, the kid raised in a City named for an English Lord produced a man which by most all measurements surely surpassed the Lordly recognition of Lord Baltimore. The name given to a City on the eastern shore of Maryland named Baltimore, Maryland has not and will not achieve the World Fame of it native son George Herman Babe Ruth.

What we know and what we might not have really captured in our knowledge about this legend of Baseball?

We all are quite familiar with the fabled Yankee Stadium located in the Bronx of New York home of them affectionately known as those "Damn Yankees" being the "House That Ruth Built." Well good fans as the Babe built his legend leaving "Bean Town" and the Boston Red Sox and becoming the giant of all baseball with his prodigious accumulation of Home Runs In the American League and particularly Yankee Stadium.

Some how, some where one day this raw legend of a man did in fact hit his very first professional Home Run.

I will not tell you the how, nor the day, but hidden within the written story here are some single letters in bold for the spelling in progressing order which names the Town and the State where The Babe hit his very first professional baseball home run.

Aside from the place he hit his first professional homer there are other attributes and descriptive characteristics which marked the Babe as one of a kind. Did you ever notice in so many of the video shots when he ran the bases after a terrific home run blast?

He did not take off like a scalded wampus cat he simply ambled along in his half pigeon toed on his merry way tipped toed trot. His stroke of power and blast by the simple sound of that blast told him instinctively it was long gone outta here.

Check it out none of Babes peers swung a heavier bat than the Bambino. Note the Sultan Of Swat did not stand in the batters box preening like a hot shot look at me player. He took his stance like a well balanced barrel sitting on two broom sticks for legs. The Babe had a barrel like chest which exuded upper body strength.

Yes folks he had a heavier than usual bat but could he ever swing it with the speed resembling a bolt or lightening flash but as The Bear of University of Alabama fame would have announced his swing of the bat was quicker than a hiccup.

You got it right sports fans if you followed the bouncing ball and picked up the bold printed single letters it spelled Fayetteville, South Carolina.

Thought you would like that bit of some Babe Ruth insight. Now you know what makes Baseball farming so interesting.
