Babe Ruth Birthday Party

Babe Ruth loved to party with the people of Detroit in the 1920s.
One hundred years later, Babe Ruth’s family enjoys celebrating with the people of Detroit.
We’re pleased that Babe’s grandson Tom Stevens will once again raise a glass with the Ruthian Revelers at Nemo’s Bar in Corktown.

Brent and Stu will be selling and signing copies of this cool book.
Be sure to pick up a copy for yourself or your favorite baseball fan.
And of course, Tom, Brent and Stu will be enjoying beer, hot dogs, and talking baseball with all the great people at Nemo’s.

Babe Ruth always had a great time in Detroit—both on and off the field.
A Detroit Times reporter named John Manning remembered covering The Babe during a Yankees visit to Detroit in 1920.
On the night of August 5th, Ruth decided to go out and hit several of the speakeasies in Hamtramck.
He didn’t return to his hotel room at the Fort Shelby until 5am.
After a couple hours of sleep, Ruth was ready for an interview with the reporter.
Manning recalled the big slugger wearing his pajamas, and answering questions while downing a triple orange juice, a triple tomato juice laced with Worcestershire sauce, a large bowl of porridge, a double order of ham, eggs, and fried potatoes, a vast stack of buttered toast, and four or five cups of coffee.
That afternoon at Navin Field, Ruth slammed two home runs off Detroit pitcher Hooks Dauss to help propel the Yankees to an 11-7 victory over the Tigers.
Yes, The Babe lived large during his visits to Detroit.
So slide into Nemo’s Bar on Saturday, FebRUTHary 7th at 7:14pm, and have a Ruthian time.
