Babe Ruth: Legends in Sports
“Mary’s, he knew little of the outside world. He had never been away from Baltimore before. He had never lived alone, bought his own clothes, or cooked his own meals. All he knew how to do was play baseball and make shirts.
On the train ride south, Ruth spent most of his time gazing out the window. When it was time to go to bed, one of the Oriole players had to explain to him how to fold down the sleeping berth. He also played a trick on the raw rookie.
In the berth was a small mesh clothes hammock. The veteran player told Ruth, “That’s for your pitching arm.” When Ruth went to bed, he dutifully placed his left arm in the hammock. When he awoke the next morning his arm was stiff and sore from hanging in a hammock all night. When the veterans saw him rubbing his arm, they all got a good laugh.
After the team checked into their hotel in Fayetteville, they went to the dining room for breakfast. George looked at the menu and wasn’t quite sure what to do next.
