One possibility is that Ruth literally was born out of wedlock. Which is not far fetched. Former President Grover Cleveland voluntarily paid child support to a mother who had claimed to have had his child out of wedlock. Some biographers have claimed that Cleveland's parentage was questionable, because it was common for professional men in the 19th century to accept paternity claims made by single mothers. On the other hand, Babe Ruth did resemble his father physically. An aspect of German history that was obscured in the era of German unification was the German peoples were much more fractured and diverse than are remembered retrospectively in history, or art. The Romani, for instance, settled all over land that was unified into modern Germany--those communities were infamously massacred during the Holocaust. North African communities famously have lived in neighboring Holland and Germany for centuries. The point is that the image Europeans (and Americans) imagine when they say, "German," is self serving and misleading. This was a nation that was invented in the middle 19th century, and patched together out of the Holy Roman Empire, the Kingdom of Prussia, the Rhine Confederation, and a half-dozen other nations. "German" is not one ethnic group, but a mix of several ethnic groups in central Europe, some with ties to Africa, some to Central Asia. So if this video proves anything, it's that Ty Cobb is an a$$#ole.
@davewolf6256 • I've seen many white Europeans with similar facial features like Babe Ruth that have zero African ancestry and dna. There are even many people with such facial features who also have dark skin and wooly hair - The Melanesians - and unless recently mixed, have zero black African ancestry.. and DNA testing has proved this. Darker skin worldwide, for example: Is definitely not synonymous with black African ancestry; All those different features have to do with the human body adjusting to particular environments and weather etc. in order to survive. Throughout ancient and pre-history it's been the same for people in Africa, Asia, Europe and throughout the world. Unless proven by dna testing, nobody has the right to impose a " race " upon another unless that other willingly chooses to identify as such.
Where do most darker, as in olive skinned and having dark hair and eyed Germans, live in Germany? Bavaria. In the south of the country! Known fact, unless you're an Afro-Centric Know Nothing always claiming anyone dark is black, as in African. Yeah, well tens of thousands of years ago, some of us homosapiens left Africa for other places, and guess what? Genetic mutations occurred. So, that's why people have different looks. It doesn't mean some darker Germans descend from a community of Africans living in Germany a few hundred years ago. Turks have lived in Germany for centuries is one fact.

Look, if the Babe was recognized as black, the clowns in charge would not have let him play. The Babe did the right thing, and baseball is all the better for it.

I think it's very possible that the Babe had some African heritage considering his facial features. In my own opinion, that shouldn't have mattered and black, hispanic, and any other racial group you can think of should have already been integrated into MLB. I don't understand from this point of view as someone who is white and almost 60, why things like race, ethnicity, and country of origin mattered at that time.
I ABSOLUTELY THINK HE WAS AT MINIMUM 1/2 BLACK. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GOOGLE HIS NAME AND LOOK AT THE PHOTOS. PICTURES AND TV WERE'NT VERY HIGH QUALITY IN THOSE DAYS. IT WAS EASY TO "HIDE".

INTERESTING SIDE NOTE, PERHAPS A DIVINE OR OTHER WORLDLY MATERNAL FORCE CREATED "HER HOMERUN TAGGER" "GEORGE HERMAN RUTH"
Exactly, but genetics that go back a few hundred years are the most important to anyone. If Ruth's parents were German-American, it's not like there aren't any dark Germans, as in olive skin and dark hair and eyes.
That is not the question if he was 100% white or 100% black but IF HE WAS PASSING FOR WHITE. There is a huge possibility he was Quadroon (1/4 so-called Black American) because of this ignorant rule in America if you have one drop of black blood you are black. It just shows the racist views of this country. He looks biracial to me.
@@siepip Ty Cobb hated Ruth because Cobb couldnt hit 500 foot dingers. He could have called him a poopy face or knucklehead, he was jealous that a pitcher was a better hitter than him.
He wasn't black. He doesn't even look black. Not even part black. Not every white person fits the white stereotype. Steven Tyler has some big lips. Doesn't make him black. 😂
@@themadlad8540 You have got to be kidding😂 He looks NOTHING like his dad! Why do you people do this? So what if Babe was Black it doesn’t take away how incredible of a player he was!
Babe Ruth was the greatest player who ever lived don't care what color he was don't care what a man who's been dead for 50 years at least had to say about him personally I mean does it make his accomplishments less or more based on his race
He reminds me of my grandfather who was of mixed heritage with red hair and a fair complexion. He played in the negro leagues in Texas. It reminds me of a joke too. This black guy wanted to play baseball and the manager wasn't having it...but the guy talked him into a tryout and he hit consecutive home runs....The manager says okay I'm gonna let you go against my best pitcher. The guy knocks the cover off the ball and as he runs the bases, the manager yells look at my cuban player!!!
Oh, come on. This is more Afro-Centric nonsense. Ruth had a German-American background. I know and met another German-American who was dark like Ruth was: Rudolph Sholz, who was a member of the American rugby team Olympic winners of 1920 and 1924. His parents were off the boat from Germany in the 1890s. I also knew a German-American who was very, very light skinned, but as with Ruth, had thick lips and a broad nose, and in fact could have passed as a relative of Ruth's, as both had very similar facial looks.
@@blazee3895 You probably don't know or ever heard of Rudolph Scholz. His cousin was Jackson Scholz, who got a few medals for track at the '24 Olympics in Paris. So, STFU!
I am biracial and had blonde hair (now it is grey), white skin, I also have blue eyes, but like Ruth, I have a broad nose and full, n-word lips. The Babe was totally part black, no question!
Ted Williams was Mexican so alot of history has been hidden, alot of actors, singers ,Athletes were hispanic and black but had to hide that and use different names and deny what they were.
Well it all makes sense now he had that black juice running through his veins that’s why he was so strong. I bet if you look close he has cherry curl juice in his fro under his hat. I have a big flat white nose big ears and big lips too does that mean I’m half black? Wait white men can’t jump so I know I’m white right?
Babe Ruth was part of the human family. There is only one type of human on this earth. We are all so closely related that all of the apparent differences are due to a few tiny differences on a few genes. That's it. The rest is the same. Who was Babe Ruth? A wonderful baseball player. And part of the human family. Anything else is purely incidental.
If this is true, Babe Ruth is black and white men have no representation in the upper tier power hitters all time. Based upon the facts as we know them to be, he was probably mixed race. No white power hitters in the top 5 all time? This is interesting, because there are plenty of pitchers and other skilled position players.
I can't find it but it was ESpn or HBO where they had a segment mentioning how Ruth got along with Black children and his features; can't seem to find that segment anymore
