Babe Ruth Visits at Parkertown

I've been a Yankee fan as long as I can remember, so it's no surprise that I believe that Babe Ruth was the greatest baseball player of all time. I shudder to think of how much money the Babe would be making today.

The Babe, portly by today's athletic standards, was the greatest baseball player of all time. (Photo from Google images.)

It has been said that Babe Ruth's heart was as big as his stomach. Here's a newspaper article about a visit the Babe made to Parkertown that proves the point. Seems the Bambino was great, both on and off the field.
