Babe Ruth's St. Petersburg Bus Tour

Babe Ruth is widely acknowledged as the world's greatest baseball player.  For at least a decade, from 1925 to 1935, Ruth and his family made St. Petersburg their seasonal home. Now for the first time, Saint Petersburg Preservation offers an historic bus tour of the places loved and frequented by the Babe. Special stops will be made at the Jungle and Rolyat Hotels, now Admiral Farragut Academy and Stetson Law School. Tour leader will be historian Will Michaels, author of The Making of St. Petersburg. Will recently helped to plan the City Baseball Centennial Celebrations, and served as tour guide for the Babe's daughter, JuliaRuth, on her recent visit to mark the occasion.
