Alright, so the other day I was watching this old baseball movie, and it got me thinking about Babe Ruth. Like, the guy was a legend, but how did he actually die? I mean, I knew it wasn’t on the field, but that’s about it.
So, I started digging around. I figured, hey, I’ve got some time, let’s get to the bottom of this. Nothing fancy, just hopped on my laptop and started with a simple search.
First, I just typed in “Babe Ruth death” or something like that. You know, keep it simple. And boom, tons of stuff popped up.
I started skimming through the results, mostly news articles and biography-type sites. I realized that using the words”what did babe ruth die of” provided more detailed results about the cause of his death, not just the history of his career.
- I skipped anything that looked too clickbaity or unreliable, making sure that I am going for credible news sites.
- And started checking those sites for articles talking about his medical records.
After reading a few articles, I began to see a pattern. It was mentioned many times that Babe Ruth had cancer. They talked about how he was this larger-than-life figure, but in the end, he was taken down by a disease that hits so many people. It started to paint a clearer * wasn’t some sudden thing; he battled it for a while.
My Realization
I ended up realizing that Babe Ruth died of throat cancer, specifically nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Man, I didn’t even know that was a thing before I started looking into this. He battled it hard, and I felt I learned a lot by just doing a few searches.
