Babe Comes Home

Babe Dugan is a slugger with the Los Angeles Angels – a terror on the field, he is also a terror in the eyes of the Snow White Laundry, because he chews tobacco while playing, dirtying his uniforms. At the request of his girlfriend, laundry girl Vernie, Babe gives up chewing tobacco; the only problem is that sans his chew, Babe goes into a mighty slump at the bat.
Babe Comes Home was firmed at Wrigley Field in Los Angeles, then home of the minor league Los Angeles Angels, and locations of such later baseball films as The Pride of the Yankees (1942) and Damn Yankees (1958). Ruth, who appeared in a total of 10 theatrical films, mostly in short cameos, starred in two vehicles, Babe Comes Home and Headin' Home (1920).
