Babe Ruth is one of the greatest legends in MLB history and is widely considered the best player of all time. During his time with the New York Yankees, which began in 1919, he won four World Series championships and became an iconic star.
During his playing years, Ruth had a significant connection to St. Petersburg, Florida, especially during spring training with the Yankees. During that period, the legendary player was known to stay in various residences and hotels throughout the area.
His historic home in St. Petersburg, Florida, was considered several times a building ready for demolition due to its condition, but in recent years, renovation plans have made progress to the point that news about the mansion has surfaced in the past few hours.

According to Fox News, the house where Babe Ruth stayed during spring training with the Yankees has hit the market for nearly $2 million after undergoing years of renovations that involved a costly investment.
