Yes. In his biography of the Babe, Tom Meany said he believed it to be a corruption of "Judge," a nickname hung on outsized athletes. But another source says it's a corruption of Ruth's square name, George, by a teammate who had a friend named George who was called "Jidge." Meany says the Yankees also called him "Jidgey."
