Yes, you are right (I knew that). I lived in the same town (north of NYC) where Lou Gehrig lived, and worked near the railroad bar that Ruth and Gehrig used to go after some games. I knew some older gents that knew both of them. The Babe was nice to everyone. He was not abusive to his wife, I don't know where that came from (below). His first marriage didn't go well, but his second marriage to Claire was very good. She used to come to the Yankees opening day for many years and was a staunch defender of Babe's reputation.

The Babe was like a God during his time. Almost a myth today. He could do almost anything he wanted on the field. Closest thing to him I've seen in my 40 years is Michael Jordan. People like these, everyone feels in awe just to be able to look at them. That's how I felt seeing Jordan play in 1990 in person for first time. "Can't believe I'm actually here". The Babe was same way to everyone in New York in the ballpark and on the street. He wasn't perfect as a man, but he was loved by almost everyone. His heart was was so big, it's what made him great and also caused him pain. RIP, Bambino. A true baseball God.

All by themselves are Ruth, Ali, and Jordan. Everyone else is second.

This was back when people had manners, respect, and willingness to listen and learn. Babe Ruth was a wild man until it came to the kids. He cared deeply for kids and always enjoyed spending time with them. Back then, professional baseball players enjoyed PLAYING the game for fun and not ridiculous contracts for 10's of millions of dollars.

The Babe was great with kids. His affinity for kids was legendary. To the kids he was nothing less than their hero. What gets me are the people who think Ruth was fat. Just look at the film "The Babe" starring John Goodman as Babe Ruth. Somehow a fat kid overcame all the obstacles of his physique because he was a great player? Regardless of how great he was, his fatness would not have made Babe Ruth a great player. Look at him here, in 1932. This was late in his career, but he was NOT fat.
