Explore the untold story of Babe Ruth’s early years and the childhood experiences that shaped his legendary generosity. Before he was the "King of Crash," George Herman Ruth Jr. was one of eight children and a self-described troublemaker who struggled with drinking and stealing. This clip looks at how those difficult beginnings fueled his lifelong commitment to charity work with children outside the baseball field.
