==Biography==<br />
'''''1895-1948'''''<br />
<br />
'''Athlete'''<br />
<br />
Babe Ruth was the eldest of eight children born to a Baltimore bartender and his wife. They had no time for their son, and when he was seven they placed him in St. Mary's Industrial School for Boys, a combination orphanage and reform school. They even signed over [[custody]] to the Brothers who ran the institution. He had been virtually living on the streets already, and was classed as "incorrigible." There were no visits, but he did go back to live with his parents for short periods a couple of times. <br />
<br />
Brother Mathais at St. Mary's took an interest in young George, and encouraged his obvious talent for baseball. He was spotted by a talent scout named Jack Dunn when he was 19, and in order to circumvent the [[custody]] order, which was supposed to last until he turned 21, Dunn became his [[Legal Guardian|legal guardian]]. <br />
His nickname was given him on an early appearance with the Baltimore Orioles. He was soon sold to the Boston Red Sox, and in 1919 to the [[New York]] Yankees, where he remained until 1934. For a few months after that he played for the Boston Braves, before retiring. <br />
He died from throat cancer in 1948. He was married twice. First to Helen Woodford, with whom he [[adopted]] a daughter, Dorothy. Helen died in a fire in 1929, and he married again four months later. His new wife, Claire Hodgson, a widow, also had a daughter, Julia, and they each [[adopted]] the other's child. Babe Ruth is still known as one of the best baseball players in history, and gave his name to a candy bar.<br />
