\"Babe<\/a>St. Marys, Ont. \u2013 On September 5, 1914, a 19-year-old Boston Red Sox pitching prospect stepped up to the plate in the sixth inning and belted a three-run home run off of Toronto Maple Leafs hurler Ellis Johnson at Hanlan\u2019s Point Stadium on Toronto Island.<\/p>\n

Few thought much of the blast that reportedly cleared the right field fence and landed in Lake Ontario at the time. After all, the long ball came off of the bat of George Herman Ruth, who was batting ninth and toeing the rubber for the Double-A Providence Grays, and this husky teenager was destined for a future on the mound, not in the batter\u2019s box.<\/p>\n

But that home run turned out to be Babe Ruth\u2019s first professional \u2013 and only minor league \u2013 round-tripper. The Bambino, of course, graduated to the big leagues by the end of that season and eventually socked 714 four-baggers in a 22-year career, mostly with the New York Yankees.<\/p>\n

With today representing the 100th<\/sup> anniversary of Ruth\u2019s first professional home run, the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame is selling a limited number of prints (numbered out of 714) that commemorate his historic first homer.<\/p>\n

Titled \u201cThe Babe and Toronto: A Legend Begins . . . September 5th, 1914,\u201d these prints are signed by the artist, Pam Davies, and are being offered exclusively by the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame. The cost is $50 plus shipping per print and proceeds will go towards to the Hall\u2019s kids programs and to the construction of the new museum.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a great opportunity for fans to purchase a print that pays tribute to one of the greatest moments in Canadian baseball history,\u201d said Scott Crawford, the Hall\u2019s director of operations. \u201cWhen you\u2019re talking about baseball, there\u2019s no one bigger than the Babe and we\u2019re fortunate to have an exclusive opportunity to sell these prints. This is a very important fundraiser for us as we work towards building our new museum in St. Marys.\u201d<\/p>\n

Created in 1985, the Ruth print is 18.5\u201d (width) by 25\u201d (length) and features action and profile shots of the Babe, a sketch of the stadium, the game\u2019s box score and the Canada and U.S. flags.<\/p>\n

Il est int\u00e9ressant de rappeler qu\u2019au cours de ce m\u00eame match, Ruth a \u00e9galement lanc\u00e9 un match complet d\u2019un seul coup s\u00fbr, menant les Grays \u00e0 une victoire de 9-0 contre les Maple Leafs devant 2300 partisans. Le seul coup s\u00fbr donn\u00e9 par Ruth \u00e9tait un simple r\u00e9ussi par le receveur Billy Kelly.<\/p>\n

To purchase one of these limited edition Ruth prints, please call the Hall of Fame at 519-284-1838 or email baseball@baseballhalloffame.ca<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
