When Babe Ruth was seven years old his parents placed him in St. Mary's Industrial School (Baltimore), an institution for underprivileged boys, were he learned to play baseball. He began to play semiprofessional ball in Pennsylvania and was signed by the Baltimore Orioles (International League) in 1914. That same year he was sold as a pitcher to the Boston Red Sox of the American League. The Babe never had to hold a second job as many of the ball players of the day. He played baseball for a living and it paid him well.

Babe Ruth liked to play Baseball, obviously, but he also liked to donate to kids and people in need. When he wasn't playing baseball, he was most likely found at a homeless shelter or reading books to the children, or using his money to buy things that people need. He also worked at a soup kitchen. He wasn't only a great ball player, but a great guy too.
