Today is the 115th anniversary of one of baseball's most important days: Babe Ruth's birth. On February 6, 1895, George Herman "Babe" Ruth was born on Emory Street in Baltimore's Pigtown neighborhood to parents Kate Schamberger-Ruth and George Herman Ruth, Sr. About a quarter century later he would forever change the game of baseball while dominating the sport like nobody had ever done before him or would after.
Tom Singer of MLB.com has a very good article on The Sultan of Swat and all of his accolades, which is definitely worth checking out, especially today.
Happy Birthday Babe!
