		George Herman ("Babe") Ruth was the greatest player in baseball history and one of the outstanding American celebrities in the years between the two world wars.
		Ruth's personality merged with his extraordinary baseball skill and the public demands of the new consumer culture to create a larger-than-life figure—a hero of popular mythology.
		Baseball has always been such a difficult game that those few who play it well and joyfully and gracefully—players such as Ruth and Shoeless Joe Jackson and Willie Mays—are lifted by fans into the realm of myth.

		By 1895, baseball's color line had become entrenched, and fls wishing to play professional ball were forced to join the loosely organized Negro leagues and play for substantially lower salaries and prestige.
		And in any case, there are dozens of anecdotal incidents of baseball owners and managers blocked, either by the league office or by the other owners, from signing fl men to play "organized" baseball.
		Bill Veeck, for instance, claimed he was barred from purchasing the Philadelphia Phillies in the early '40s when the league found that he planned to sell off all the team's regulars and re-stock the club with players from the Negro leagues.
