While at the school Brother Matthias ( one of Ruth's instructors) became like a father to Ruth and first showed him how to play the game of baseball. By the time he was 19 he became one of the best pitchers in Baltimore, and in 1914 he tried out for the Baltimore Orioles, becoming one of the youngest professional baseball players ever.

In 1927, he hit sixty home runs, won 110 games, and won the World Series. In his career he hit 714 home runs until it was beat in 1974.
