The Babe was great with kids. Always signed autographs and visited boys' homes and kids in hospitals. Not too many like him.

The Babe is pretty much the closest thing to a superhero that there ever was.

He leaped over those fences like a boss

The Babe, for all of his carousing, genuinely loved kids.

This is amazing. So glad this stuff has been preserved for future generations.

Babe Ruth was the greatest baseball player of all time and a great pitcher, the kids loved him.

imagine how cool that would’ve been to be playing with him priceless

I wish players had genuine personalities like Ruth now a days

Ruth swung and huge bat compared to today. He had big wrists and powerful forearm strength. Was 6'2 which was tall for a player way back when. The best player who ever put on a uniform. Had two 20 plus game winning seasons as a pitcher.

On top of the world, and still gave back. Never seemed to forget his roots.

Babe Ruth is the best thing ever to happen to baseball. His number should never be retired, so kids can wear it and pretend to be him.

Was about to cry when Babe Ruth came to comfort the kid. Why can't every athlete is like that?

They just knew how to make short serials back then.... What a great piece....

Babe Ruth truly was a gifted ball player, had tremendous Heart oh Gold , played baseball ⚾️ with Grit , Cuts , and Love for kids because he too was once a orphan in a kids school, thank God we had Babe Ruth !

man this is 91 years old lol

That was wonderful. I'm back to reading about Ruth again. 35 years after I started collecting BR "stuff" now I have videos like this to watch. My revival in interest is because a few days ago I had the chance to meet his 100 yr. old adopted daughter, Julia, and kiss the same cheek The Babe did! What do you say to a living legend and a national treasure in her own right? She is sharp as a tack, funny, and full of stories. She still refers to him as simply "Daddy". Oh my heart!

This is amazing!!!

He was the greatest

Great hitter, pitcher AND a funny guy?? Ruth really was the best! Love how he pulled that old guys hat lol

The Babe was like a God during his time. Almost a myth today. He could do almost anything he wanted on the field. Closest thing to him I've seen in my 40 years is Michael Jordan. People like these, everyone feels in awe just to be able to look at them. That's how I felt seeing Jordan play in 1990 in person for first time. "Can't believe I'm actually here". The Babe was same way to everyone in New York in the ballpark and on the street. He wasn't perfect as a man, but he was loved by almost everyone. His heart was was so big, it's what made him great and also caused him pain. RIP, Bambino. A true baseball God.

Babe was literally god during this time. Crazy.

God bless you babe Ruth 🙏😊

Babe was past his prime here but that swing still had enormous power.

Rip Babe Ruth. Great tips from one of the greatest baseball players in baseball history. Thanks for posting this.⚾️

When I die and go to heaven, I'm gonna ask the Babe to give me some swinging lessons too!

Babe would of made a hell of a film star

The Blue Jays need to get their players to watch this film, especially the part about laying down a bunt. I think only Santiago Espinal knows how.

Consider this. A century or so later, the Babe is still arguably the greatest lefty pitcher the Red Sox ever had. He still holds the AL single-seasin record for shutouts by a southpaw, tied with Ron Guidry.

I never knew he did these short movies. Wow.

His Packard was a beautiful car. I think it was a Twin-Six (V-12 engine). At that time many considered Packard the premier car in the world. It was the car of choice for many heads of state including kings.

Some great acting by The Babe here ~ great clip!

As big a legend the Babe still is today 100 years later - imagine being a kid and seeing him play in the flesh in the 1920s-30s!

Babe had a enormous strike zone as the ump. That second pitch was over the kid’s head and he called it a strike. Haha!

Such a classy, simple and positive message. And Babe grew up in an orphanage so he was the perfect man for that film.

I was born 120 years too late. this is my era, right here...when america WAS america, and the media vampires were back in the mid.east where they belong

Vin Scully has a great story on getting the Babe's autograph.

The Babe rules!!! The gggrrreatest home run hitter of all-time!!! xoxo The Clarences

Thank you for uploading this video 🙏

You can tell Babe was always a kid at heart.

Thank you for this thank you 🙏🏾

Wow what a nice fellow Babe was on this here film.

THIS IS REAL MAYBE SOME MEDIA HYPE BUT ITS 99 PER CENT TRUE LOVE FOR THE BABE AND BASEBALL THAT IS WHAT MAKES HIM THE SULTAN OF SWAT.

He was also a great actor

The stadium scenes were at Wrigley Field in Los Angeles. Home of the Los Angeles Angels in 1961, their first year as a major league team. Ruth made at least 2 other films there, wearing an old LA Angels (PCL) uni in one.

2:20 damn Babe that looked like a ball to me

Boy 0 boy wouldn't we all would of love to have been that kid, getting hugs and conversation and baseball tips from the great kind hearted humours Babe Ruth. GODCHRIST LOVE HIM AND LOU BE LOVED AS MUCH ALSO. ⚾ waits for us to come home safely💯✔👍🙏🌎🌍🌏😉

Babe Ruth Was Just A Legend He’s My Favorite Yankees Player Of All Time

what a great personality, so nice with kids, this day famous athlete forget about next generation, hope this change they way famous athlete see their life

neat to see. thanks for sharing

Awesome!

This is great.

The Babe was so good to the kids. He never lost sight of the tough times as a boy himself. It would have been cool to meet the Babe.

BABE RUTH: : "Strike 2, you gotta hit 'em when there over" KID: "Babe Ruth called a ball a strike on me..heavenly"

I agree good film

When the Babe took batting practice, everybody stopped what they were doing to watch him.

Good stuff!

03:05 "what? There's NO CRYING in baseball!"

This is a million times better than all the Marvel movies combined.Babe could have been a good actor

back when america had heros, instead of zeros like in 2022

Warms your heart. You can see how the children really appreciated a syphilis-free visit.

Seems like this has elements of The Sandlot!!

Historical document!!

Awesome

This is so sweet! Babe Ruth may not have been the greatest husband, I know he was a womanizer and a heavy drinker, but anyone who cares that much for kids has a good heart. Babe was a good guy at heart, he just had a hard childhood in orphanages and never got to sow his wild oats. But I love him and will always hold him in high regard. It's sweet that he took the time to make all these short movies for kids.

Pure baseball before Little League came into being. It's all about fundamentals and never giving up. Every little league player has been there before. Love the 7th Inning Stretch musical score representing the game as far back as back as 1932. One for the archives and well ahead of its time.

These dudes got paid have to nothing back then. Hmmm. Who you think would be the big guy to step up now a days and do what babe did? He’s the goat. No doubt in my mind. Class act through and through.

"You see Freddy was a failure. Today he's a hero! "

All by themselves are Ruth, Ali, and Jordan. Everyone else is second.

the babe was a friend and teacher

Same producer as the movie Dracula in 1931. so cool.

Happy babe Ruth day

The Babe was great with kids. His affinity for kids was legendary. To the kids he was nothing less than their hero. What gets me are the people who think Ruth was fat. Just look at the film "The Babe" starring John Goodman as Babe Ruth. Somehow a fat kid overcame all the obstacles of his physique because he was a great player? Regardless of how great he was, his fatness would not have made Babe Ruth a great player. Look at him here, in 1932. This was late in his career, but he was NOT fat.

RIP all in this video

A genuine Hero and Good Guy"

This is such a sweet, innocent, inspirational and informative video yet a few of the comments are vindictive. This proves that people were happier outdoors playing ball with their friends back then than being immersed in junky antisocial tech platforms and being worried about AI overtaking humanity.

The best there is the best there was and the best there ever will be period

cool.

My father's cohorts...and you know we're a lot of these boys are going to be in 10-12 years

The Saintly side of the Babe. That was great.

Legend

I would've loved to see a sequel in which Babe taught pitching basics

We need a Jomboy breakdown of this!

If any kid in this reel is alive in 2020 he must be 100 or close to it!

He is the best

Rotting for the Underdog!!! Last became first!!

This started out with the plot of Everyone's Hero.

Back in the days when the truth is the truth. Basically Babe said that the kid was trash and failed but with some practice you a hero. But letting you know that rember you was trash and got through it.

The babe was a pretty good actor!

id be the kid in the basket on the back of his car 😂😂😂

"Strike 2" was over that kid's head!

The second strike call like three minutes in a angel classic

Wow this was made ten years ago

Babe Ruth talking... huh... interesting to hear. Kind of a tough and rough character 😀

Stadium looked like Little Wrigley Field in Los Angeles.

The man

It's highly likely that he would have earned a bust in Cooperstown if he had remained a pitcher. That's how shutdown good he was.

Cool

9:00 fat shaming hey how did you get in there. love that part

One of many videos he made like this. But how did Babe miss that pitch at 5:39? And even more puzzling, how did that strike make it imto the final cut in the film room?

I question 762 home runs, 755 home runs, and 714 home runs? That seems like an impossible feat!😂!!!!!
