In which year was Babe Ruth born? Babe Ruth was born in 1895.

George Herman Ruth Jr. was born on February 6, 1895, in Baltimore, Maryland. He later became known worldwide as Babe Ruth, the Sultan of Swat, and the Bambino. His childhood was spent partly at St. Mary’s Industrial School for Boys, where Brother Matthias encouraged his baseball talent.

Ruth entered professional baseball as a pitcher with the minor-league Baltimore Orioles before the Boston Red Sox acquired him in 1914. His transition from elite pitcher to extraordinary slugger helped transform baseball during the early 1920s.

A common mix-up is confusing his birth year with 1897, a date sometimes repeated in older accounts or mistaken for another baseball biography. Ruth’s accepted birth date is February 6, 1895. He died in 1948 at age 53, after a 22-season major-league career that included 714 home runs.
