The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.HENDERSON, Nev. — Julia Ruth Stevens, the last surviving daughter of Hall of Fame baseball slugger Babe Ruth and a decades-long champion of his legacy, has died at age 102, her family has announced.
Diane Murphy, a fellow resident at Prestige Senior Living at Mira Loma in Henderson, told The Associated Press that Stevens had lost her sight but remained bright and vibrant."She was so sharp and laughed at the right moments," Murphy said."She was a lovely lady.
Tom Stevens told the Las Vegas Review-Journal in an interview earlier this year that it rankled his mother to be referred to as Ruth's stepdaughter. Babe Ruth retired in 1935, days after playing his last game. He was with the Boston Braves that year after starring for the New York Yankees from 1920-34 and the Boston Red Sox from 1914-19."I sometimes wonder if the designated hitter rule would have been in effect when Daddy played, his career would've lasted much longer and he would've hit a lot more home runs," Stevens once said."It was his legs that gave out. He had trouble with his knees.
