Babe Ruth was in the twilight of his career when he came to Asheville with the New York Yankees to play exhibition games against the Asheville Tourists of the Class B Piedmont League on April 7 and 9, 1931. Huge crowds turned out to see him. Babe and the Yankees had come to Asheville twice before, but he had been unable to play. Rain washed the games out in 1926.

Abstract:
The Baltimore Orioles spent the month of March 1914 in Fayetteville. Although the Orioles were still a minor league team, they had a talented rookie on their roster named George Herman Ruth. While in Fayetteville, Ruth hit his first homerun, pitched his first win, and earned the nickname “Dunn's Babe.” The name “Dunn” referred to Orioles manager, Jack Dunn. It soon disappeared, but the name “Babe” stuck. Ruth hit his first homerun on March &, 1914, during his first game as a professional player. On March 24, 1914, Ruth pitched against the Philadelphia Athletics, the reigning World Series champions, and won 6-2. Ruth spent free time in Fayetteville watching trains and riding elevators, because he had never before experienced either.
