Middle of the night. The phone rings. Babe Ruth answers. It's Sister Magdalene from St. Mary's Industrial School — the orphanage where Ruth grew up. Her voice is shaking: "There's been a fire. The main building is gone. Everything burned down."
Ruth was eight years old when his father abandoned him at St. Mary's. Dropped him off at the entrance and walked away without looking back. For ten years, that building was his home. The place where he learned baseball. The place where Brother Matthias saw potential in an angry, abandoned boy and gave him a bat. The place that saved his life.
Now it's gone. Burned to the ground. Three hundred boys have no home.
Sister Magdalene tells him the damage: $100,000 to rebuild. It's 1933. The country is in the Great Depression. Banks are failing. People are starving. Nobody has that kind of money.
But Ruth makes a promise: "I'll get it. Give me two months. I'll raise $100,000."
Everyone says it's impossible. His own business manager says he's crazy. But Ruth doesn't listen. He organizes charity baseball games across the country. Town after town. Playing through exhaustion. Playing through pain. Raising money dollar by dollar.
This is the untold story of Babe Ruth's greatest achievement. Not a home run record. Not a World Series championship. The story of how one man refused to let hope die, even when everything seemed impossible.
