George Herman Ruth alias Babe Ruth lived the
 mythic
tale of 'from rags to riches'. From a battered childhood to
the biggest baseball player - the Babe exemplified the American
dream. Born in a poor family and brought up in an orphanage,
Babe rose to unimaginable heights of fame.
It was to Brother Matthias, one of his teachers who saw Babe
'on the pitch' and recognized his talent in baseball and coached
him, that the game of baseball should be eternally thankful.
He played his debut match for the Baltimore Orioles. Then
he also played for the Boston Red Sox and later with New York
Yankees. 'The House that Ruth Built', a stadium for the New
York Yankees was the product of his efforts.
George Herman Ruth entered the baseball hall of fame in 1936.
He was one among the five to receive this honor.
