“I want to win, Miller,” Ruth says, his voice subdued. “I want to win for this team, for this city. I want to be a Yankee.”

In that moment, something changes. Ruth begins to embrace the team’s culture, the values of hard work and discipline. He starts to show up on time for practice, he follows the team’s rules, and he becomes a leader in the clubhouse.

“He’s a different man now,” Huggins says to his assistant manager. “He’s a Yankee.”

The arrival of Babe Ruth marks a turning point in the Yankees’ history. It is a moment that defines the team’s identity, its ambition, and its pursuit of greatness.

A Dialogue

Jacob Ruppert and Miller Huggins sit in Ruppert’s private office, overlooking the bustling streets of New York City.

Ruppert: “Miller, I believe we have something special here. This team, with Babe Ruth, with all the talent we’ve assembled, it’s destined for greatness.”

Huggins: “Yes, Mr. Ruppert. But we must be patient. Babe is a talented player, but he needs guidance, discipline. We must show him the Yankees way.”
