The man who fell out of a tree into baseball history

Babe Ruth - The Ladies Man · 7:53 · Video: Today I Found Out · Watch at the source

In short: Explore the legendary persona of Babe Ruth, a figure whose impact on the game was as much about his larger-than-life personality as it was about his athleticism.

This video examines the cultural phenomenon of Babe Ruth, capturing how he fundamentally shook up the sport. A former teammate famously remarked that Ruth didn't seem like a natural athlete, suggesting instead that "this guy wasn’t born" but rather "fell out of a tree."

The narrative explores his reputation as a disruptive force who grabbed life by the throat—and perhaps other parts of its anatomy—to redefine what it meant to be a sports icon.
