SportsBreweries®-THE OFFICIAL BEER OF SPORTS® and The Official BASEBALL BEER® celebrate the incredible Babe Ruth becoming the first major leaguer to hit 600 career homeruns on August 31, 1931! ⚾️🍺

⚾️On August 21, 1931 Babe Ruth becomes the first major leaguer to hit 600 career home runs when the Yankees defeat the Browns, 11-7 in front of a Depression Era crowd of 6,000 fans. The 36-year-old slugger hit the milestone round-tripper off right-hander George Blaeholder. Usually, such a feat would provide enough drama for one day, but not for the Babe. Next, he got ejected. Then, he sparked a treasure hunt by offering a $10 reward for his home run ball that struck a parked car outside the stadium. Three St. Louis radio stations (KMOX, KWK and WIL) carried Browns home games in 1931, so when Ruth’s request went on the airwaves it reached a wide audience. When 10-year-old newsboy Tom Callico showed up at the Sportsman’s Park press gate with a ball, Willis Johnson, the Browns’ secretary, took him to meet Ruth. According to Dick Farrington of The Sporting News, “Babe greeted the kid like a father. He fished around and handed the boy a $10 bill and in another few minutes had a brand new ball for him.”⚾️
