Babe Ruth: The Most Famous Baseball Player

It was a rough ride to get the Most Valuable Player because he had to overcome obstacles of the color barrier. 1940 was when the MLB all change, because that 's when the first african american came into the league, Jackie Robinson.

At three years old, I fell in love, and it's a love affair that has continued to this day. All I remember is wanting to hit with my dad every second of every day.

Baseball, America’s favorite pastime, is a sport in which so many kids dream of growing up and playing under the lights like their favorite baseball heroes.

See, when I worked in the dorm, which was every year for the past twenty-one up to this one, I used to roam the halls toting a 33-inch Mizuno hard maple with a thin handle. The Milliken freshmen were particularly dismayed by this habit. I guess the sight of an older man over six feet tall and sporting two-and-a-half bills wasn’t made any less intimidating to them by the addition of a two-pound piece of lumber designed to be swung as quickly as possible. I tried to tell them: “Do you really think, in any circumstance, that I would actually hit you?

The Yankees, probably the most popular baseball team in the 1950’s, won 8 pennants. In 1951 Mickey Mantle quickly won the center of attention by joining the Yankees and making 13 home runs.
