Four-alarm fire burns St. Louis museum that holds historic manuscripts

And, let's not overlook that "the Babe" (George Herman Ruth, Jr.) was a native of Baltimore, Maryland, born and raised in the Pigtown section of south Baltimore - so named because it was close to the B&O Railroad where pigs from the Midwest were brought for slaughter and meat packing as well as butcher shops in the area. Babe also was taken away from his parents at an early age and educated at St. Mary's Reformatory, run by the Xaverian Brothers. His disciplinarian there was very good at baseball, and that's how the Babe got started. There is a museum in Baltimore dedicated to his life and career.
