Babe Ruth Hits his First Home Run - 1914

# data[].attributes.body
The first event I chose occurred on September 5, 1914, when Babe Ruth hit his first home run. In the neighborhood of Hanlan's Point, Maple Leaf Stadium is where Babe Ruth hits his first home run as a professional baseball player. He hit the ball into Lake Ontario and the ball was never found. He was a rookie with the Providence Grays at age 19 at the time. This event is an excellent example of continuity and change because Babe Ruth continued his great career and hit 714 career home runs and is now known as one of the greats to play baseball. This event also exhibits change as Maple Leaf Stadium was demolished a year after it was closed down. The stadium was closed down and destroyed as the Toronto Maple Leaf's baseball team no longer existed and the stadium was taking up space that could be used for development.

Victoria Cougars Wins Stanley Cup - 1925

# data[].attributes.body
On March 30, 1925, the Victoria Cougars, the Western Canada Hockey League champion, were the last team not affiliated with the NHL to win the Stanley Cup. The cause of them winning was the fact that they beat the Montreal Canadiens by 3 games to 1. Hap Holmes, the goalie for the Cougars, stopped the potent Howie Morenz of the Habs and recorded 2.00 goals against average in the championship game. Another of Lester Patrick's six Stanley Cups was won. The first athletes to win the Stanley Cup and an Olympic gold medal were Frank Fredrickson and Haldor Halderson. Victoria then faced a consequence as their team was then bought out the year later by Detroit who then was called the Detroit Cougars and are now known as the Detroit Red Wings.
