Descendants of Babe Ruth will be in Hot Springs in March for the dedication of the final two markers in the Hot Springs Historic Baseball Trail that traces the birthplace of baseball spring training in the Spa City.
The two-day celebration, which also will feature baseball legends Ferguson Jenkins and Al Hrabosky, will be held Friday and Saturday, March 23 and 24.
“We will be joined at this celebration by three generations of the Babe Ruth family, including his grandson, Tom Stevens; great-grandson, Brent Stevens; and the Babe’s great-great granddaughters,” said Steve Arrison, CEO of Visit Hot Springs. “Babe Ruth’s daughter, Julia Ruth Stevens, was invited but will be unable to attend. She will celebrate her 102nd birthday July 17.”
