      ​@terrytari1891 It matters because of US one drop rule. At the time, if Babe Ruth had any black ancestry any at all despite looking phenotypically white he could not have played in the major league. He would have been segregated to the Negro league and never become the baseball star that he became.

      Bro looks more like Albert Einstein than Ruth. And the only kind of black he could be. Has to be the same kind like the rapper “Logic”. Who claims to be black. I had an uncle who’s parents where light skinned black people. But he came out looking white. Like Robin Williams.

    Ruth was an advocate for Black inclusion in Major League baseball from the beginning , and barnstormed with Negro League teams in the off season. He was excluded from baseball management after his playing days because it was well known he would have brought in Black players. Regardless of whether he was Black or not, he was definitely on the right side of history and morals.

    Even if he has zero black ancestry (probably the most likely answer), he didn’t have a racist bone in his body in a time where many whites were very racist. He was all for integrating MLB, did barnstorming tours with the Negro Leagues, and frequently hung out in Harlem when few whites would.

    Reply Rob, if he is white or Black, he would have been the 2nd best Baseball player whether he's Black or White. The Baseball player white or Black is Willie Mays. Willie is a 5 Tool Player, just ask the late Tommy Lasorda Baseball (LA Dodger Manager)!

    I would think if Babe Ruth had Black lineage, it would come from his father George Herman Ruth Sr, who Babe was a splitting image of. Since Babe Ruth's parents are documented and not a mystery (his mother was Katherine Schamberger) can't someone do a ancestral family search and possibly find out?

  • @n5nr186
    @n5nr186 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    He does carry some of the signifiers for African American heritage in his facial features (larger, wider nose, even bullied for having “N**** lips apparently”) But if he has some ancestry it’s probably not much.
    The man was born to two Maryland natives with German ancestors and even spoke it growing up. He is the spitting image of his father and honestly the features aren’t that unusual for the family.
    Considering his efforts towards unification of the sport and cranking absolute crushers, might as well be a part of the community 😂 S/O To the Sultan of Swat 🍻

  • @choxie4me
    @choxie4me 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I do believe that Babe Ruth was black. During the 1930's Major league baseball teams were secretly recruiting the best fair skin African American ballplayers to play in the major leagues. Romare Bearden was then an excellent negro league baseball player also fair skinned. He was approached by Boston to pitch for them. The only catch was that Romare was not to expose his black ancestry. Romare Bearden declined this National league team and went on to finish college and became a well known Collage artist during the Harlem Renaissance.

So test her children to see if they have African ancestry. This will test to see if he actually did father his adopted daughter.
