@M . There is no such thing as "the most important sport" because there is nothing that makes one sport " more important" than any other sport! A sport can be more popular than another sport in terms of either participation or attendance by ticket purchasers or viewership on television, but no sport is "more important" than any other sport!
Both of my grandfather’s used to play baseball in a small ranch in Mexico in the 1930’s. Baseball has been played in Mexico since baseball began. I wouldn’t say baseball has only been popular in America
Babe was the best. He was the best left handed pitcher in the AL and a couple years later he was the most dangerous hitter the game had ever seen.100 yrs have passed and NOBODY else has come close to doing that at the major league level. I imagine he enjoyed making this film 😁 Nice looking bunch of ladies
Somebody in the AL is doing that right now, and they also have speed. Babe laid the groundwork, but as of right now, Ohtani is the most complete package of a ball player in history. He can steal, run, hit for contact, and hit for power, and has a cannon for an arm….A 5 tool player that can also pitch at the highest level. I would have agreed with you 5 years ago that nobody has come close, but as of right now you should be watching Ohtani pave his path as the second coming of Ruth. Ohtani is also saving baseball by bringing in an international audience to subsidize the hemorrhaging of baseball fans in America. He’s not an anomaly either, and has been doing it for multiple seasons. If you love Ruth, you’ll love Ohtani. :^}
George Herman Ruth was legendary at the way he handled both bats and broads. His "manager" permitting him to teach women how to play ball was totally there on script, otherwise, her heart would be broken. His second wife mandated his diet away from excess food and females, stretching his baseball career to its length.
How cool to spend a few minutes with the real Babe Ruth. Absolutely the one and only GOAT, no contest. To be the greatest hitter of all time and one of the premier pitchers of his era is a feat that will never be matched
The palm trees tell me that this was likely filmed at Wrigley Field in Los Angeles (not to be confused with Chicago's Wrigley Field), home of the old Hollywood Stars PCL team. The original Home Run Derby show from the 1950s was filmed there too, I believe.

@@jasonwilliams4159 The Hollywood Stars played at Gilmore Field on Fairfax Ave by the L.A. Farmer's Market. Wrigley Field, in South Central Los Angeles, was the home of the PCL's Los Angeles Angels.
Thank you for this amazing footage! Wow! I love it. What a thrill it would be to find video of Babe Ruth’s first career grand slam, May 1919 footage, with an excellent no-hitter Pitcher… I would really, really, love to see that play. 👍🏻 Thanks, again! ❤️
The wifey bits tho... Classic. Definitely never stopped him...... The old school playful tone of the whole intermural spirit... "Strrrrr....uh.....Ball!!!" "Hey Betty, what are you doing tonight??" ☺😊😀😁😂😂😂😂
That's the same ballpark used for the series home run derby which lasted 1 season I believe in 1959. Also same producer as the original Dracula from 1931. So cool.
That park was Wrigley Field in LA. I thought it lasted 2 seasons. Hank Aaron won his match several weeks in a row. It was a home run or nothing on Home Run Derby! Never missed it.
@@martinmahern7268 I'd seen some episodes during rain delays, and then one of those really obscure channels aired it about seven or eight years ago. So amazing to see so many great players, and even some solid ones who are sadly mostly forgotten.

This film was made several years before the first major League night game but shadows on the field distinctly look like they are of light towers. And a little known fact is the Cubs were ready to install lights before the second world war but then donated the materials to the war effort. But the question is why did they then wait until 1988 to become the last team to have lights instead of being one of the first. But I must comment on this this film as I have always been fascinated by the Babe. He died 2 years after I was born and I would have loved to see him play. Thanks so much for posting this film.
This is both hilarious and neat at the same time. He was a youthful, trim Babe and his personality shines through. And he had a terrific golf swing too! The lady player touching up her makeup after reaching base is priceless!
My childhood idol had long been gone by the late 60s and i was a boy on a team called the Yankees, batting cleaning, wearing his number 3, which is STILL my lucky number to this day...because poor Babe died in his mid 50s a horrible death of throat cancer due to his smoking and chewing tobacco. Same reason we recently lost another one of my idols, Edward Van Halen..the Babe Ruth of rock guitar
Right there with you. My father saw Ruth play in 1927. A childhood hero for both of us. I became a fan of VH and was fortunate to see them perform 4 times. I was even more fortunate to meet EVH the day after a show in Lakeland, FL in 1981. They were at Disney World and we hung out at their tour bus in the Disney parking lot. He passed out beers, signed our ticket stubs from the show the night before, and handed out VH guitar picks. He definitely was the Babe Ruth of rock guitar.
I dunno. How hard is it to hit against pitchers who pitch a complete double header? And the fielders aren't charged with errors because they aren't expected to make plays with the individual finger mitts they used back then. Can't take stats seriously until the 50's rolled around.
@@Jaysin31 Show me the stats about pitchers who threw complete games of a double-header. A single complete game pitched was more common in Ruth's time, that's true. He pitched several and held a World Series record for scoreless innings for 40 years (shutouts, too). The game is completely different now so it makes no more sense to compare a player from the 1920's to now than it does to compare a Duesenberg to a Camry. It all boils down to comparing a player to their peers and Ruth was among the greatest pitchers and hitters of his time.
@@newerafrican Dutch Levson(1926), Urban Shocker(1924), Dave Davenport(1918), Ray Collins, Ed Summers, Frank Owen, George Mullin, Ray Collins, to name a few. All at least 17 innings and one pitched 19. And those are only the players who pitched complete games. There are countless others who pitched less than complete games. And I promise you these guys weren't even close to throwing 90+mph.
@@Jaysin31 Agreed that the game has changed and relief & specialty pitching now is part of that. Ruth himself holds the record for the longest postseason complete game victory of 14 innings. However, pitchers didn't have to throw 90 mph to be effective. Batters didn't wear batting gloves or wear any kind of protective shields and the brushback pitch was part of the game. As I said, you can only compare the older era players to their peers, and Ruth was certainly at the top of his class.
This is so much fun to watch. I saw someone in the comments section place it in the early 1930s filmed in L.A.. I have always lived in ST. LOUIS and have read The Babe use to like playing golf at a course in north county here when the Yankees came in to town to play the American League St. Louis Browns. Even though I am a Cardinals fan I would have liked seeing some of the old Browns games just to see the great Yankee teams and players more.
@@RetroManHarv Thanks for the info. Although a southside person I went to college at UMSL in the 1970s close by it. Maybe UMSL was where it was located?
This guy was a rock star before rock ever existed. You can just tell he had a mischievous side that couldn't be contained and I bet he was a blast to hang out with.
You know, one thing that this film showed is that the Babe wasn't the clumsy oaf on the base paths like the newsreel footage not at proper speed makes him out to be.
He was considered fast for his era. What I like it shows he was intelligent, people tend to forget this fact. When they see name Babe, they assume he was like a child...he wasn't.
@Tom Douglas Sicks You mean to tell me beautiful women have always existed???? That can't be. Are you sure? LOL I thought beautiful women only came into existence after Babe Ruth's time 😂
What separates the Babe from all of the great players all down the years is that Ruth may have been one of the greatest pitchers of all time, as well as one of the greatest sluggers. He spent his early years with the Red Sox as a starting pitcher and was outstanding with a career of 89-46 with a 2.28 ERA by age 24. He pitched in both the 1916 and 1918 World Series, winning a total of 3 games as the Sox won two world championships. After this, and his subsequent sale to the Yankees, he was primarily an outfielder so his bat was in the lineup every day. No other MLB player has excelled at both aspects of the game like Babe Ruth.
@@tannerroberts1114 It's all relative. Athletes back then were not nearly the "physical specimens" they have become in the 21st Century. However, the Babe was competing against the best athletes of his day (the white ones anyway) and his achievements are amazing, even today.
@@rogerwelyki1370 - Yes, Ohtani is amazing. With the DH, he should be able to continue pitching as well as hitting for a longer period in his career. I think he may one day be spoken of as "the greatest baseball player of all time."
If you look for the classic show "Home Run Derby", filmed in Wrigley Field, California, you will notice a similarity with the ball field featured in the beginning of this bit. I think they are the same place.
Esta filmación debe ser después de 1927, ya que en ese año los Yankees adoptaron poner número a los uniformes, y como Ruth era el tercero en el orden, tenía el número 3.
Gal who checks her makeup after getting on base at 6:40 is a scene replayed in "A League of Their Own" by Madonna. Otherwise, they aren't exactly the AAGPBL, but easy enough on the eyes! Great footage - thanks for the post!
He was ahead of his time. Think about it. All these years later and not only do we have a pitcher who can hit again in the majors but he foreshadowed men putting on a wig and pretending to be women in a woman's sport. Crazy stuff.
@@tahoepoet Babe Ruth also appears in Speedy (1928), Harold Lloyd has to taxi him to Yankee stadium (This movie very important because it shows Ruth in his prim and how fit he really was). What is special about this, another player makes a cameo when Ruth and Lloyd are at Yankee Stadium. Lou Gehrig appears looking through driver side windows for a few seconds.

I love the legs beginning at the 2:05 mark. How about Babe's golf swing at 3:45? Beautiful.
That ending was great. Hevpulls his wig off lol
I wonder if this footage was filmed at the old Wrigley field in Los Angeles.
yes, it was. Babe did a 1927 silent film there, too. "Babe Comes Home."
Yes.
@@tahoepoet Babe Ruth also appears in Speedy (1928), Harold Lloyd has to taxi him to Yankee stadium (This movie very important because it shows Ruth in his prim and how fit he really was). What is special about this, another player makes a cameo when Ruth and Lloyd are at Yankee Stadium. Lou Gehrig appears looking through driver side windows for a few seconds.
Love this!!😂😂😂😂😂
Loved it!
I mean, wow, that's Babe Ruth! How unique it is to be able to watch this.
To many he is only a myth. Here he is in all his ham bone glory..lol
Right? I’m so glad I found this
