Strange but true Babe Ruth had something in common with Baker Bowl.
Yes, a little-known fact…Baker Bowl was the site of two significant moments in Babe’s career. Extremely difficult to believe considering “The Bambino” spent only one year in the National League during his 22 years as a major leaguer.
As a 20-year-old on the Boston Red Sox, Ruth made his first ever World Series appearance at the Baker Bowl for Game 1 of the 1915 Series against the Phillies. He grounded to first base as a pinch hitter in the top of the ninth.
