The National Baseball Hall of Fame

Yesterday morning I woke up in the RV next to Josh and I realized I was going to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. It wasn’t exactly what I expected, but it was ok. First we watched a video and it showed a bit of Babe Ruth (aka George Herman) life. Like when he was playing baseball with his friends when he was l10 years old and they lost the ball.

I had a couple of questions, well really one question, before we got there. My question was: What team were the White Sox playing when they got in trouble because of the Black Sox Scandal?

In case you don’t know what that is, here, I will tell you: One year the White Sox were in the world series playing a different team. They lost but many people thought they had bet lots of money that they would lose. I don’t know why they would do that. Maybe because they thought it would be easy to make a lot of money if they would do that. I don’t know. I just don’t know. But then the White Sox players were found out and all the players were banned for life from ever playing baseball again in the Major and Minor Leagues. I found out what the answer was – they were playing the Reds. I don’t remember when it all happened, but it was a long time ago.

There were two very good baseball players, Babe Ruth and Roberto Walker Clemente – but his real name is Roberto Clemente Walker. Barely anyone knows that, but that is the truth.

We are also going to start a patch collection and sew them on to a hoodie. So yesterday I got another patch –so now I have three patches – all from baseball.

The end.

See you next time on my blog

P.S. Here is a picture of me and Babe Ruth.
