Hey BRC Fans!
On July 17th, 2016, Julia Ruth Stevens, Babe Ruth’s daughter, will become a centenarian. Julia has been invited as a guest to visit multiple baseball teams to recognize her upcoming birthday, including the Boston Red Sox (where she threw out a first pitch), as well as the Vermont Mountaineers, a member of the New England Collegiate Baseball League. Check out some pics and video from this past weekend:

Here’s a video of the event in Montpelier, Vermont where the Mountaineers presented a team jersey with Babe Ruth’s number 3 on it to his daughter Julia to celebrate her 100th birthday at Recreation Field: https://youtu.be/B9VOCLFbjFs
And the celebration isn’t over! This coming weekend, a number of Babe Ruth-related super fans and experts are coming together in Julia’s hometown in New Hampshire to participate in her 100th birthday party. We’ll be sure to post pics of her big day.
Great pictures, Julia. Can you tell me the name and location of Babe’s turkey farm during the 1940s? I know it was close to, or in, Millerton NY.
