Early Life She was not the best in school, but she had a great work ethic and her parents always tried to help her. In school she earned the reputation of bully because she would challenge anyone who annoyed her to a fistfight. She earned the nickname Babe because she hit so many homeruns when she played baseball. When she wasn’t playing sports she loved to dance and play the harmonica.
