The Case against George Herman "Babe" Ruth jr. being partially black
#1
It's been said he had certain "lips" that bore the resemblance to black folk.    Looking at the genealogy it does not present this.

Biographical Summary:

George Herman Ruth followed his father, John, in the lightning rod business, and after a succession of small jobs, wound up as a bartender. It was during his time at the family's saloon that he married Catherine Schamberger, a newly arrived German native. In 1895 Kate gave birth to the first of eight children, George Herman "Babe" Ruth, Jr. George, Sr. continued to run saloons in the area during Babe's boyhood. The location of one of these saloons was in the area of centerfield of what is now Oriole Park at Camden Yards. By the time Babe was five George Sr. was running his own saloon, over which his family lived. The neighborhood was poor and rough, and young Babe, with two parents working constantly and having little time to guide their son, picked up many of the area's bad habits. In the spring of 1902 George, Sr., unable to manage Babe, made the fateful decision to send him to St. Mary's school for boys. Babe spent the better part of the next twelve years there, finding companionship, family and his true love, baseball. Over the ensuing years George Sr.'s time with Babe was sporadic at best. Babe's time off from the school was brief and George Sr.'s interest in being a father, an only parent since Kate's death in 1912, was limited. Over the years George continued to run his saloon and even remarried. On Saturday, August 24, 1918, at his saloon on Eutaw and Lombard streets, a quarrel had broken out among his second wife's family, and George Sr. intervened. Outside the bar he got into a fight with one of the men, fell and hit his head. He was taken to University Hospital where he died shortly thereafter. Babe and his wife attended the services, and eventually cut mosts ties with the Baltimore area and it's bad memories...

The guy in the middle has a resemblance as well.  Is that an uncle?

I don't know about the lips, but they do both have that broad nose that puts a little more separation between the eyes.

Babe's nickname at the school for incorrigible boys was "N" lips.   BUT, digging a bit you'll learn that his parents are of European roots, with his mother being German and the Babe able to speak it fluidly.

Reading on his life is a fascinating study.   No one was like the Babe.

Making your way in the world today
Takes everything you got
Taking a break from all your worries
It sure would help a lot
Wouldn't you like to get away?

Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
You want to be where you can see
The troubles are all the same
You want to be where everybody knows your name
You want to go where people know
The people are all the same
You want to go where everybody knows your name
DC is a symptom, not the cause. The cause is basic voter stupidity and economic ignorance.

Well, then it is not surprising there is a resemblance.  His dad looks more like him than he does.

Interesting how the father died.  Got in a fight in a back alley and hit his head on a rock.  Must of been about 40 some years old.

Years ago, Paul finebaum was interviewing Bert Sugar the famous boxing writer. Bert told a story heâ€d heard from a writer who followed the Yankees in Babes days. They traveled by train in those days and the guy said that the writers were all in one car playing cards and talking when suddenly the door bursts open and babe runs thru the car butt naked. About 10 seconds later, the door bursts open and a woman wrapped only in a sheet, with a knife in one hand runs thru after him. Itâ€s quiet in the car after this happens, and then one writer says “well, thatâ€s another story we wonâ€t write about”.
