Babe ruth 2
Babe ruth 2 BABE RUTH Babe Ruth is an American hero. He transformed baseball from a sport, to a national pastime when it needed it the most. Coming off of the wake of the Black Socks scandal, baseball was headed downhill. It had a bad reputation, and interest was waning.

People should stop being so self-centered and take notice and interest in cultural diversity. There are numerous differ...
