In 1895, on February 6, the legendary George Herman Ruth, Jr. was born. Little information remains about his years as a young boy in Baltimore, Maryland, but there is plenty of recorded history surrounding his years with the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees. There are even stories that the Sultan of Swat could have possibly managed and played for the Detroit Tigers before his career as a player ended in 1934.
In 1933, Babe Ruth was still playing with the Yankees, but he was showing his age. By the time the season ended, he had turned 38 years old – a milestone even for today’s players – and he wanted to be a manager.
