Babe

George Herman Ruth Jr. (February 6, 1895 – August 16, 1948), commonly known as Babe Ruth, was an American professional baseball player who revolutionized the sport through his unprecedented power hitting and charismatic presence over a 22-season Major League Baseball career from 1914 to 1935. Born in Baltimore, Maryland, to a working-class family, Ruth rose from institutional schooling to stardom, initially as a left-handed pitcher for the Boston Red Sox—where he compiled an 89–46 record and contributed to three World Series titles—before transitioning to the outfield with the New York Yankees, amassing 714 career home runs that stood as the all-time record until 1974. Ruth's defining achievements included shattering single-season home run records multiple times, first reaching 29 in , then in , in , and a pinnacle of in as part of the Yankees' dominant "Murderers' Row" lineup, which propelled the team to four American League pennants and two victories during his tenure.

His career batting average of .342, combined with 2,214 runs batted in, underscored his dual-threat prowess, though his pitching excellence early on—evident in a 2.28 ERA over 1,221 innings—remains a lesser-highlighted facet.

Paley's social orbit included literary figures like Truman Capote, who immortalized her and fellow high-society women—dubbed the "Swans"—in his unfinished novel Answered Prayers, drawing from their real confidences and later straining those ties when excerpts exposed personal scandals in 1975. Frequently ranked among the world's best-dressed women by outlets like Vogue, she curated a wardrobe blending Mainbocher gowns, Cartier jewelry, and custom accessories, often prioritizing flawless presentation over comfort, as evidenced by her use of cigarette holders to conceal early signs of oral cancer.

Other uses

Animals and biology

The term "babe" denotes a very young animal, particularly in literary, poetic, or archaic English usage, paralleling its application to human infants. This sense emerged in Middle English around the 14th century, derived from imitative origins mimicking infant vocalizations, akin to the word "baby." While not a standard taxonomic or zoological term, it evokes the helpless, dependent phase of early animal development, as seen in phrases like "babe in the woods" extended metaphorically to naive young creatures. In animal biology, "babe" lacks formal scientific adoption, where precise descriptors prevail: neonates for newborns across mammals, or specifics like , , or for juveniles post-weaning. Its informal use persists in husbandry or observational contexts, such as referring to unweaned offspring, but empirical studies favor measurable criteria like age, weight, or developmental milestones—e.g., piglets under 3 kg at birth transitioning to post-weaning by 21-28 days. This linguistic holdover reflects anthropomorphic tendencies in describing animal , though causal emphasizes species-specific periods (e.g., 114 days for pigs) and altricial vs. precocial birth strategies over colloquial labels.
