George Herman Ruth, most commonly called “Babe Ruth,” was baseball’s first legend. The Babe Ruth Birthplace and Museum provides information and artifacts for baseball fans who wish to know more about the icon. Babe Ruth grew up in Baltimore and spent much of his life there, so that is where the museum is conveniently located. While the museum is named after Babe Ruth, it is also a place to see exhibits on many other sports legends in basketball, football, baseball, and other sports. There is a large shop located within the museum to get sports memorabilia and other items as well.
