Newfman says:

New York writers termed his illness “The Bellyache Heard Round the World,” but in recent years historians have speculated that Babe actually suffered from gonorrhea and not acute indigestion

                        </SPAN></B><SPAN>Babe Ruth’s extraordinary journey from a Catholic
                        reform school in Baltimore to the storied confines of
                        Yankee Stadium in the Bronx made him the idol of a
                        nation. The ballplayer of ballplayers, Babe was also a
                        man who indulged in earthly pleasures, as sportswriter
                        H.G. Salsinger noted, “He could eat more, drink more,
                        smoke more, swear more, and enjoy himself more than any
                        contemporary.” A legendary gourmand, Babe was fond of
                        drinking a quart mixture of bourbon whiskey and ginger
                        ale at breakfast, before attacking a porterhouse steak
                        garnished with half-a-dozen fried eggs and potatoes on
                        the side.</SPAN></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.baseballreliquary.org/BabeRuthHotDog.htm">Perhaps no artifact of Ruthiana attests more to
                        his culinary excesses than this desiccated hot dog,
                        partially consumed by the Bambino during an eating binge
                        just prior to his collapse on a train ride in April
                        1925</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.baseballreliquary.org/BabeRuthHotDog.htm">Babe reportedly gorged himself on a dozen to
                        eighteen hot dogs before blacking out, and a week later
                        he was at St. Vincent’s Hospital in New York</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/69BE2D05-1EEE-41E8-B312-E48E43D5DEAD/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
