He preferred to take his steaks down raw, covered in a whole bottle of chili sauce. The Bambino had a breakfast fit for a dinosaur, reputedly starting his day with 18-egg omelets. As for his drink of choice in the morning, it wasn’t coffee. No, he liked to start his day with four cups of bourbon and ginger ale. Rumor has it, that during his playing days he sunk beers and guzzled hot dogs at a rate that would have put most people in hospital. Another tale mentions a time Ruth ate 12 hot dogs and drank 8 bottles of soda in between a doubleheader. The Yankee would routinely put on eating shows, amazing crowds of fans gathered around. Ruth was someone who basically ate to a crowd. He grossly over ate when strangers or new friends were with him. He loved his reputation as a greedy feaster, he loved to put on a show to any spectators. Sometimes it was a comedy act, like the time he asked a waiter to decorate his steak with a border of lamb chops. On average it was said Ruth ate around 6,000 calories per day. One of his favorite snacks was pickled eels and chocolate ice cream. Legendary sportswriter H.G. Salsinger who once covered Ruth noted, “He could eat more, drink more, smoke more, swear more, and enjoy himself more than any contemporary.”<br /><br />AboveAveragehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13515954729929843673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-21865655458905605032022-09-28T13:30:55.527-04:002022-09-28T13:30:55.527-04:00I didn't take that photo, AA, but thanks for a...I didn't take that photo, AA, but thanks for asking. <br /><br />I was on line for a hot dog at the time.JMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09876016557456927299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-10705273425875419352022-09-28T12:40:56.204-04:002022-09-28T12:40:56.204-04:00Thanks for posting this, JM.
