Babe Ruth's Farewell Speech-  "Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen. You know how bad my voice sounds. Well, it feels just as bad. You know, this baseball game of ours comes up from the youth. That means the boys. And after you're a boy and grow up to play ball, then you come to the boys you see representing clubs today in your national pastime. The only real game in the world, I think, is baseball. As a rule, people think that if you give boys a football or a baseball or something like that, they naturally become athletes right away. But you can't do that in baseball. You got to start from way down, at the bottom, when the boys are six or seven years of age. You can't wait until they're 15 or 16. You got to let it grow up with you, if you're the boy. And if you try hard enough, you're bound to come out on top, just as these boys here have come to the top now. There have been so many lovely things said about me today that I'm glad to have had the opportunity to thank everybody. Thank you."
Babe Ruth is considered to be one of the best baseball players to ever play the game. He holds records in all time slugging and OPS. He is top ten in many other categories such as all time home runs, all time runs, and batting average. In addition to being a great batter he was also a pitcher. He won four World Series in his career which is quite an accomplishment. This was his farewell speech he gave after retiring from baseball. His retirement was a sad day in baseball as so many players and people looked up to him. Babe forever remains as one of the most iconic players to ever play the sport of baseball.

3. This is a picture of the official record in the Chicago Black Sox trial. In 1919, the Black Sox were accused of throwing the world series and losing intentionally. They were accused of being bribed by people who bet a lot of money against them. Some players claimed that their life was at stake with some gangsters and mob leaders. "Shoe-less" Joe Jackson is the one giving the testimony in the picture. He admits that him and others on the team were bribed to lose the world series on purpose. He gave names which led to a lot of arrests. He got some immunity out of this. ]]> 2016-12-02 18:48:33 UTC https://padlet.com/mcblackford/m4vp3cvtn06y/wish/141476886 jbisaria https://padlet.com/mcblackford/m4vp3cvtn06y/wish/141477018 1.
