Join us at the Martinsburg Public Library to hear the one and only Babe Ruth (portrayed by Gene Worthington of WV History Alive) discuss his life as a baseball star! You won't want to miss this exciting, creative opportunity to interact with history!

George Herman "Babe" Ruth (1895-1948) was a superstar whose style personified the Roaring Twenties. He played large and lived large. Known as "The Sultan of Swat," "The Great Bambino," and simply "The Babe," Ruth remains perhaps the greatest name in baseball history. He overcame a difficult childhood to become the home run king whose drawing power lifted the sport and made Yankee Stadium known as the "house that Ruth built."
