Babe Ruth was known for playing baseball, but he was much more than that. He played baseball for The Boston Red Sox early in his career and the New York Yankees later in his career. He had a very interesting personality, and this made him almost as many enemies as it did friends.
Babe was a very rambunctious person. He grew up in Baltimore, and it is rumored that by the age of three he was already drinking and smoking. He spent most of his youth in St. Mary's School for Boy's, and he stayed there until he was eighteen years old. His parents tried to le him out several times, but each time he would do something else and they would have to put him back into the school. Babe was a very wild person.
Babe acted very immature. He never saved any of his money and he often had to borrow money from his teammates, even though he was, by far, the highest paid player in the league. He cheated on his wives constantly, with several different women. He couldn't control himself around food and this caused his weight fluctuated throughout his entire career. He always had to be drinking, smoking, or chewing tobacco, this contributed to complications that he had later in his life. He acted very crude in public,.
by using crude language and starting fights and arguments with both friends and enemies.
Even though he had many character flaws, he was a very athletic person. Even when he was young he was by far the best athlete in his school. He was drafted by the Red Sox as a pitcher, and was the most dominating pitcher in the league for several years. When his manager realized that he was a spectacular hitter he was moved to the outfield. .
Although he was an outfielder most of the time he occasionally pitched when the team needed him to. On top of being a great pitcher he was a good fielder and one of the greatest hitters of all time. He hit sixty home runs in one season, which at that time was more than some teams hit in an entire season.
