He wasn't cantankerous....he was a "party animal"

“People sometimes got mad at him, but I never heard of anyone who did not like Babe Ruth.” Ernie Shore, Ruth's teammate when they both played for the Red Sox, would say of Ruth, "He was the best-hearted fellow who ever lived. He gave you the shirt off of his back."

Now how can you be a "mean drunk" when you spend your sober hours giving homeless children shoes and what not.

The Babe just liked booze and women...same as anyone else
