Question

babe ruth was a legendary baseball player, perhaps the greatest player who ever lived. \the bambino,\ as he was sometimes called, was born in baltimore, maryland, in 1895. he had a difficult childhood and seemed to only feel at home on the baseball diamond. his teachers noticed his talent, and they encouraged him to play. in 1914, babes teachers talked the owner of the baltimore orioles into letting him try out. the orioles took him on, but later that season, they traded him to the boston red socks as a pitcher. seeing how well babe ruth hit a ball, the red socks made him an outfielder instead so hed get to bat in every game (pitchers dont always bat). that turned out to be a very smart decision, as babe hit a record twenty - nine home runs that season. then he was traded to the new york yankees where he hit fifty - four homers one year and fifty - nine the following year! at the time, the yankees didnt even have their own stadium. instead, their home games had to be played at the polo grounds, which they rented. babes amazing ability to hit home runs changed all of that. he drew thousands of fans and turned his team into a successful ball club. whats more, the money the crowds brought in meant that the yankees could afford to build their own baseball park. it was called yankee stadium, but was nicknamed \the house that ruth built\ 6 babe ruth attracted thousands of fans and made lots of money for the ball club. based on the passage, this resulted in which of the following? a. the building of yankee stadium b. higher pay for the yankees players c. the rebuilding of the polo grounds
