In one mighty post, Paul completely eclipsed anything that was in that much-advertised new Babe Ruth book. Great information Paul, thanks for posting that.
I have always been interested in The Babe's Baltimore period since I read Creamer's book in grammar school. Later, in the 1980's, I went to art school in Baltimore and the first thing I did when arriving there was to seek out the address of all the Babe Ruth sites in town, including the old Ruth's Cafe on Eutaw Street - I seem to recall it was a "showbar" back then as well.
I later spent 9 months in 2002 taking a large exhibit from the Babe Ruth Museum around the country and setting up in spring training stadiums and later all throughout the minor leagues.
The Babe was the best there ever was!
