THE SULTAN OF SWAT

He was born an orphan in the inner city of Baltimore, Maryland. Yet he changed the game of baseball and made the excitement of 1998's home run chase possible. In the history of the grand old game, no player has ever been bigger. His records for most home runs and home runs in a season have fallen, yet he remains the king of baseball. Of course, we're talking about Babe Ruth. His museum is in Baltimore, shared with the Baltimore Orioles. If you can't get to this beautiful harbor town, you can visit the museum via its excellent website. which features overviews of both the Bambino's career and the history of Oriole baseball. What a treat!
