Babe Ruth’s ancestry was questioned for decades. Racial slurs, conflicting family stories, and portraits of the wrong grandparents helped keep the rumors alive. But what happens when you follow the records?
This documentary traces Ruth’s family from Baltimore to a small German village, uncovering forgotten relatives, an Atlantic crossing, and the evidence behind one of baseball’s most persistent ancestry rumors.
A Y-DNA project involving Ruth-family relatives adds another piece to the puzzle—but it never tested Babe Ruth himself. Discover what the documents reveal, what the DNA supports, and where the evidence ends.
