In 1925 the New York Yankees were playing an exhibition game in Ashville, North Carolina. Ruth had been hitting over .400 but was said to be feeling sick. On April 7, 1925 the Babe collapsed at the Ashville train station. The train had missed its connection and rumors spread that the Babe was dead. A London newspaper even published a detailed story on Babe's death. Ruth was revived and the train to New York made a stop in Washington DC. Ruth again collapsed in the men's room. He was found unconscious with a bad bruise from hitting his head on the sink. There is allot more to this story which I may add to the discussion page.
