Y------Z Babe Ruth League Bids Farewell to Our Dear Friend, Julia Ruth Stevens, Loving Daughter of Baseball Icon Babe Ruth Y------Z

It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to Julia Ruth Stevens, who passed away early in the morning of March 9, 2019, after a short illness. Julia was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother who lived a wonderful, full life during the 102 years that she was with us.

Julia, who was considered baseball royalty, was the last person who knew the Babe firsthand. Reflecting on their relationship beyond the ball field, she would always tell you she loved him and couldn’t have had a better father. Until the very end, she was proud to call the Babe “Daddy.”

Born into a typical southern family on July 17, 1916, in Athens, Georgia, Julia’s earliest days were spent with her mother, grandmother and two uncles. Her biological father had passed away shortly after Julia was born. In 1918, her mother, Claire, left the comfort of her Athens home along with her toddling baby and headed off to New York City. There, she eventually met and married the legendary Babe Ruth.

Julia was the older of two daughters adopted by Ruth. Dorothy Helen Ruth Pirone, who passed away in 1989, was adopted by Babe Ruth and his first wife, Helen.

Julia embraced the moments she shared with the Babe. She was always pleased to share stories with eager fans and journalists alike.

The opportunity to travel the world with Babe Ruth and her mother was one of Julia’s fondest memories of the sports icon. In particular, she loved the “round the world” tour on which they embarked in 1934, including travels through Japan with her family to watch 15 exhibition baseball games. Another affectionate recollection was listening to their favorite radio program, “The Lone Ranger,” with the Babe in their New York City apartment. Forever in Our Hearts Julia Ruth Stevens 1916 - 2019

Julia Ruth Stevens had far more memories than memorabilia. She loved going to Opening Day and the World Series. She was always amazed by the huge crowds and excitement. The Babe taught her how to dance and they danced together. He taught her how to bowl, and they bowled together. Throughout her life, Julia was proud to promote her father’s legacy, which included the Babe Ruth League program. She crisscrossed America, encouraging Julia and her son Tom attended many boys and girls in their love of baseball Babe Ruth League events. In fact, as and softball. In doing so, she became recently as 2016, Julia attended a Babe one of the greatest Ambassadors for Ruth World Series. She was Babe Ruth League and its participants. 100 years old at the time. Julia also made frequent appearances at baseball events, throwing out many ceremonial first pitches. And she always had time for one more autograph. Her last appearance was at Fenway Park on July 9, 2016, when she threw out the first pitch at a Red Sox game to celebrate her 100th birthday.

Julia Ruth Stevens was a great supporter of Babe Ruth League. “ She attended many Babe Ruth World Series where she always made time to spend with the players and families. Julia was also a great representative of the Babe Ruth League program, which was named in honor of her father, the greatest baseball player of all time. While we will miss Julia greatly, we will always remember her kindness and friendship. — Steven M. Tellefsen, President/CEO, Babe Ruth League, Inc.
