It"s a nickname, like Catfish Hunter, possibly apparent youth or youthful attitudes, such as entering Hot-dog contests. Sports writers later amplified it, to Bambino- Baby or literally Boy-Chiild in Italian, though Ruth was emphatically not Italian. (Tony Lazzeri was and Ruth once asked him (Who will the Wops (derisive term for Italians)going to vote for!) when talking poliltics. No Italian-American would use (Wop) in such a context. ( Doo-wop) in songs is different a form of Scat- sounding out sub-vocal sounds in lieu of words- vocal artists as diverse as Sinatra (Ooby Dooby Do!) and Janis Joplin have employed (Scat). The Candy Bar Baby Ruth was probably named after the ball player, at any rate popularized by and for him.
