Happy birthday big guy. And damn you Harry Frazee.

Happy birthday to the most unjustly villainized member of Red Sox history. How about for a present you give us a WS?

EDIT: 1895? Eventhough I have the avatar, I am not the knower of all things Babe. How old was this guy when he debuted in the majors?

He made his debut on July 11, 1914, making him a ripe old 19 years old.

When I was 19, I snuck an LL Bean backpack full of beer up my dorm stairs past an RA.

Here's some added trivia: what team did Babe play for in his last professional season in 1935.




Answer: Boston...Braves.
Just 28 games and he batted .181. Anyone know the details on this? Too many hot dogs and hot women catch up with the Bambino?

He was playing for the then minor league Baltimore Orioles even earlier than that. Started out as a left-handed catcher too.

Here's a better trivia question:

Where did the Babe hit his first professional HR?

The more significant point is not when Babe Ruth was born, but when will he die? If FOX had their way, never.

If we have ours, this October.
