"Babe Ruth posing with African American fans (1925) Babe Ruth, according to baseball historian Bill Jenkinson, was not racist. He chose to play games against “so-called Negro League teams” in 1926, 1927, 1928, and 1929, at a time when others refused to do so. Besides playing, Jenkinson said, Ruth would sit with black players in the dugouts, talk and socialize with them before and after games and mingle in the segregated stands. He scheduled games in locations where interracial competition was not only against local norms but also against the law. Babe Ruth’s daughter, Julia Ruth Stevens, said that she believes her father’s appreciation for black players hurt his chances of becoming a manager for an MLB team in the years before Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier."

Sherry,
No, Bobbi Gibb ran first. She was not registered, just jumped into the race at the start. The following year, Kathrine Switzer registered as "K. Switzer", so the race officials did not know her gender. Not until she started running did they figure out what was happening and the race director tried to tear her race number from her shirt. There is a better photo of a larger friend of hers blocking Jock Semple from reaching her

Herbert, It says Gibbs ran "exactly 50 years ago" which would have been 1973. Switzer ran in 1967 it says.

#1 Great for her and the telling of her struggles to be recognized are inspirational still. Yet nowadays there are those who would enter women'c competition as biological men, just so they can call themselves winners. Sad commentary.

#7 The thing is each generation in their age of teens to thirty do not believe that the previous generation understands anything or know what true troubles are. I know I did not until I was older. I am still not convinced that those who live in the first world really understand what a hard life is compared to many of the things I experience during my deployments. Being overweight and on welfare is not hard life in America. Being in a refugee camp where UN supplied food is taken by gangs and having groups trying to ethnically cleanse you is.

#9 I still remember watching outside my window at the smoke rising from the first tower when the plane hit the second one.

#14 I can only imagine the stories they would have told in life if they had a copy of that original picture back then

#20 Wow. You could not make something like that up because people would call that fake. Truly amazing.
