Okay, so I got curious the other day about how Babe Ruth died. You know, like, you hear these legendary names all the time, but you don’t really know them, right?

So, I started with a simple search. Nothing fancy, just typed “what did babe ruth die of” into the search bar.
Digging Deeper
The first few results were pretty straightforward. They all pointed to throat cancer, specifically nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Sounds scary, right?
- I noticed a lot of the sites were like, official-sounding medical places and biography pages.
- I saw that his death was in 1948 so I made note of how long ago that was.
Putting It Together
I wanted to know about this,I checked different sources and I confirmed it.
Then it’s all clear to me now that he was suffering and died from throat cancer.
It’s kind of sad, you know? This guy, a total baseball legend, taken down by something like that. Makes you think, I guess.
