S5E4: The Comeback Kid | The Comeback (Babe Ruth)
Holy Donors
Today’s Holy Donors episode focuses on Babe Ruth after his baseball career. What did Babe Ruth do with his post-baseball days? What was his life like before his death in 1948? Does Babe Ruth deserve to be called a ‘holy donor’? Andrew, Matt, and Rhen wrap up this season of Holy Donors by discussing the final years of Babe Ruth’s life, and they each share their thoughts on why (or why not!) Ruth merits inclusion in our podcast about holy donors. Long story short, while Babe Ruth’s story is very different from that of our other holy donors (St. Katharine Drexel, for example), those differences don’t discount his potential to have been a great and faithful philanthropist. Take a listen and decide for yourself - is baseball great Babe Ruth also a holy donor? --- Recommended reading: "The Big Bam: The Life and Times of Babe Ruth" by Leigh Montville “The Babe Ruth Story” by Babe Ruth and Bob Considine --- Holy Donors is brought to you by Petrus Development (petrusdevelopment.com) in cooperation with RED-C Catholic Radio (redcradio.org).
