Babe Ruth
Leigh Montville - "The big Bam" (Doubleday, 2006): "Babe Ruth was more than baseball's original superstar. For eighty-five years, he has remained the sport's reigning titan. He has been names Athlete of the Century... He was the Sultan of Swat, the caliph of clout, the wizard of whack, the Bambino, and simply to his teammates, the big bam".
Throughout the 1940s, Cranmore Mt Lodge was owned and operated by Julia-Ruth Stevens and her husband Richard Wells Flanders. During these years, Babe Ruth would frequently visit his daughter and always stayed in Room #2, the "Babe Ruth Room", in the Main Lodge.
The Babe Ruth Room is appointed with the same furniture that the Babe used when he visited the lodge through the 1940s, and is full of memorabilia. It is on the second floor of the Main Lodge and features natural maple flooring, an in-room sink, 2 joined double beds as King, cable TV, shower bath, wireless internet access and phone.
Guests can also sit down for a game of cards in the game room and use Babe Ruth's bridge table from his Madison Avenue apartment in New York City.
