Julia Ruth Stevens (born Julia Marshall Hodgson; July 7, 1916 March 9, 2019) was the adopted daughter of American baseball player Babe Ruth and the biological daughter of his second wife Claire Merritt Ruth. Stevens was born in Athens, Georgia. The mother and daughter moved to New York City where Claire worked as a model. Her mother met Babe Ruth in 1923, and they married in 1929. Ruth subsequently adopted Julia. Through the marriage, she also gained a sister, Dorothy. Julia was married three times. Stevens was a fan of the Boston Red Sox. Later in life, she spent her time upholding the legacy of her father and wrote three books on him. Along with her mother and sister, she helped save her father's birthplace in Baltimore. Particularly, she was deeply involved in the Babe Ruth League. In 1989, she and her sister were a joint plaintiffs along with the Babe Ruth League in a trademark dispute with Macmillan Incorporated over use of their father's likeness. Bill Gilbert had a six decade long career, contributing more than 350 articles and essays to a variety of magazines such as Sports Illustrated, Smithsonian, National Geographic, Audubon, Time Magazine and the New York Times. A well-respected and award-winning author, Bill also penned ten books on subjects ranging from observations of some of nature's unique and lesser-known creatures to in-depth historical biographies. Bill was an enthusiastic sports fan and advocate of character building through competition. Major League Dad is a collection of personal and poignant memories by the only surviving member of the family of baseball's immortal and beloved star, Babe Ruth. Julia Ruth Stevens tells the moving, sentimental, and humorous story of her life as the daughter of one of America's most revered personalities, with never-before-seen glimpses of the family life of a superstar: dancing with Daddy in their living room, the Christmases that meant so much to him, the story behind the feud with the Lou Gehrig family, and his devotion to the religious brothers who rescued him from the boyhood environment that was leading him down the wrong path. George Herman "Babe" Ruth (February 6, 1895 August 16, 1948) was an American professional baseball player whose career in Major League Baseball (MLB) spanned 22 seasons, from 1914 through 1935. Nicknamed "the Bambino" and "the Sultan of Swat", he began his MLB career as a star left-handed pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, but achieved his greatest fame as a slugging outfielder for the New York Yankees. Ruth is regarded as one of the greatest sports heroes in American culture and is considered by many to be the greatest baseball player of all time. In 1936, Ruth was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame as one of its "first five" inaugural members. In 1914, Ruth was signed to play Minor League baseball for the Baltimore Orioles but was soon sold to the Red Sox. By 1916, he had built a reputation as an outstanding pitcher who sometimes hit long home runs, a feat unusual for any player in the dead-ball era. Although Ruth twice won 23 games in a season as a pitcher and was a member of three World Series championship teams with the Red Sox, he wanted to play every day and was allowed to convert to an outfielder. With regular playing time, he broke the MLB single-season home run record in 1919 with 29. After that season, Red Sox owner Harry Frazee sold Ruth to the Yankees amid controversy. In his 15 years with the Yankees, Ruth helped the team win seven American League (AL) pennants and four World Series championships. His big swing led to escalating home run totals that not only drew fans to the ballpark and boosted the sport's popularity but also helped usher in baseball's live-ball era, which evolved from a low-scoring game of strategy to a sport where the home run was a major factor. As part of the Yankees' vaunted "Murderers' Row" lineup of 1927, Ruth hit 60 home runs, which extended his own MLB single-season record by a single home run. Ruth's last season with the Yankees was 1934, and he retired after a short stint with the Boston Braves the following year. In his career, he led the AL in home runs twelve times. During Ruth's career, he was the target of intense press and public attention for his baseball exploits and off-field penchants for drinking. After his retirement as a player, he was denied the opportunity to manage a major league club, most likely because of poor behavior during parts of his playing career. In his final years, Ruth made many public appearances, especially in support of American efforts in World War II. In 1946, he became ill with cancer and died from the disease two years later. Ruth remains a major figure in American culture.
