Babe Ruth with his cousins
All I know is ty Cobb hated blk ppl and hated babe Ruth . Whose nickname was “nigger lips” in mlb and daughter claims he was barred from coaching cause he would’ve used black players prior to Jackie 🤷🏿‍♂️
Oh and somehow took bill bojangles everywhere he went —he was the first black man in a Yankees dugout . It’s all kinda interesting
Babe Ruth only player shows up at Harlem church :
And there’s this
Bruh the whole league thought he was
Said they had Ruth crying cause they called him ape man wow
I think the barnstorming against blk ppl is hella interesting ..to the research machine http://www.baberuthcentral.com/babe-ruth-and-the-issue-of-race-bill-jenkinson/
Yeah it’s interesting . Biggest baseball player , violating rules to play with blk and brown folks ...
Okay last thing : he gave bumpy Johnson a Cartier watch for Christmas ! . Godfather of harlem-bumpy Johnson
It’s a consistent theme . Tell Ken Burns to holla at me
The color actually makes me think brother was saying babe dark as my hand ..lmao

Black newspapers say blk folks adored him 🤔 . From legendary blk sportswriter Wendell Smith in the Pittsburgh Courier 1942
Thanks to folks sending me this . I heard the rumor of him fighting over racial slurs low key .. started this whole rabbit hole
So the Babe Ruth Dyckman talk is not far fetched @THEKIDMERO
