The Hero Show

After the lowest point in baseball history, the 1919 Chicago Black Sox gambling scandal, Babe Ruth stepped into the limelight and saved the sport. He became one of the primary figures who made the "Roaring 20s" roar, giving hope to millions of people during the Great Depression. His rise from an “incorrigible and vicious” youth—in an orphanage—to the first great sports icon is a story of effort, perseverance, and courage. As he put it, “Never let the fear of striking out get in your way.”  

He was so glorified by Americans that during World War II, enemy Japanese forces were trained to say one sentence in English: “To hell with Babe Ruth.”

Clint Eastwood’s films boldly illustrate the virtue of justice. His character single-handedly prevents criminals from running rampant in places where laws are loosely enforced. Whether in his Westerns or his more contemporary films, we see a laconic individual who acts for his own sake.

In 1809, though the two men had never met, President James Madison wrote to General John Stark in recognition of “the part you bore as a hero and a patriot in establishing the independence of our country.” More than a quarter century after the Revolutionary War, it was still common knowledge that Stark, as Madison put it, was “a champion in so glorious a cause.”
