Michael Gibbons on Babe Ruth: Talking Baseball! with Justice B. Hill

Michael Gibbons, the former executive director of the Babe Ruth Birthplace and Museum, shares stories about the Babe

Major League Baseball has had its share of heroes — ballplayers who have stood above the game, which they played with extraordinary skills. It would cause an argument to say any of them was better than Babe Ruth, perhaps the first American athlete with national appeal.

The Babe made the homer the most appealing part of the game. Fans love the long ball, and few men in the history of the game hit more home runs than Ruth did. His bat made the Yankees the franchise they are today.

So on this episode of “Talking Baseball!,” let’s take a look Ruth through the eyes of Michael Gibbons, former executive director of the Babe Ruth Birthplace Museum in Baltimore.
