"BABE RUTH AND THE ISSUE OF RACE" – by Baseball historian and author, Bill Jenkinson
Having written a book about Babe Ruth in 2007, I receive many questions about the Bambino and his extraordinary life. One of the greatest areas of interest centers on how the Babe interacted with the African-American community. In this matter, modern fans perceive Ruth inaccurately in two ways. First, they believe that he did not compete against the best Black players of that era. Second, most think that he did not enjoy a positive relationship with the general African-American population. Both of those beliefs are unfounded in fact.
Admittedly, it is difficult for any Ruthian scholar to definitively understand the exact evolution of Babe's feelings about race. My personal judgment is that there was none. In keeping with his uncommonly natural persona, I believe that Ruth was simply "color blind" in the matter of race. In other words, I suspect that George Herman Ruth was born with literally no innate biases toward anyone. That's just the way he was.
Babe was certainly exposed to racial prejudice. Remember that Ruth was born in a tough waterfront section of Baltimore, Maryland in 1895. That was just three decades after Abraham Lincoln had to travel secretly through the same city on his way to being inaugurated in Washington, D.C. Lincoln's anti-slavery platform was considered too volatile to allow safe passage below the Mason Dixon line. We must assume, therefore, that young Ruth realized that some white folks just didn't like black people. However, it seems to have had no effect on his remarkably free spirit.
We have very little data on the matter for the first twenty-three years of Babe's life. But, in 1918, when Ruth was rapidly rising to the top of the baseball world, there was an event that contributed to the eventual desegregation of the National Pastime. Prior to that year, Ruth had been "merely" a great pitcher for the Boston Red Sox. However, due to the shortage of Major League caliber players during World War One, Babe started playing in the field on days when he wasn't pitching. The result was an American League lead-tying total of eleven home runs, which instantly set Ruth apart from all other players. Babe then led the Red Sox to the World Series championship, which concluded early because of the shortened schedule.
At that same time, the Cuban Stars from Havana were completing a successful tour of the United States. They had won thirty of thirty-two contests against mostly white semi-pro and Minor League teams. Owner George Weiss of the Eastern League's New Haven Colonials arranged for them to come to Lighthouse Field in the Elm City on Sunday, September 14, 1918. Weiss was even more familiar with Ruth than most Americans, since he had lured Babe and the Red Sox into a Sunday "off day" appearance in New Haven on August 18, 1918. On that occasion, Ruth had smashed the stadium's longest-ever home run with an epic blow over the woman's bath house in distant right centerfield.
So, when Weiss realized that his team would be outclassed by the soon-to-arrive Cubans, he put in a call to Babe Ruth, who was resting in Boston after the just-ended World Series. The New Haven Register said this about Ruth's status at that time, "He is truly the miracle player of baseball." It added that Ruth was, "unquestionably the biggest baseball sensation of the year." When Weiss extended the invitation for Ruth to return to New Haven to play the "ebony skinned" Cubans, Babe "jumped at the opportunity." Predictably, the Stars whipped the Colonials handily, but Ruth provided the only bright light in the 5-1 defeat with a mammoth homer beyond the flagpole in left centerfield. I believe, however, that the day's events transcended sports.
At that moment, Babe Ruth was in the process of supplanting Ty Cobb (a man of questionable racial sensitivity) as the preeminent baseball player in America. When he unhesitatingly agreed to take the field against performers of African descent, he sent a powerful signal that could not be ignored. As was usually the case in whatever he did, Ruth kept moving forward in the matter of race relations. After being sold to the New York Yankees in 1920, Babe took the final step in becoming baseball's unquestioned kingpin by walloping fifty-four homers. That was an astounding accomplishment for that era.
When the season ended, Ruth received hundreds of invitations to barnstorm anywhere he wanted to go. Of the approximately fifteen games that Babe selected, five were against so-called Negro League teams. Ruth then sailed to Cuba, where he joined John McGraw's Giants to play nine more contests versus a combination of Latino and Negro ballplayers. Again, the message was clear: if the sports' transcendent figure played without reservation against Black ballplayers, why shouldn't everyone else?
However, at the same time, another powerful but opposing dynamic was taking shape. As a result of the "Black Sox Scandal" of 1919, Judge Kenesaw Landis was being wooed by MLB owners to take over as commissioner. He assumed office on January 12, 1921, and was provided with nearly dictatorial power. Landis was a complex man of contrasting traits, but even his staunchest admirers find it difficult to defend his record on race relations. Essentially, he did nothing for twenty-four years (he died on November 25, 1944) to advance the cause of integration in Major League Baseball. Accordingly, while Babe Ruth was knocking down the color barriers in autumn 1920, Landis was seemingly content to maintain them.
At the same time, there was a rule in the books that prohibited World Series participants from engaging in post-season barnstorming activities, and Babe Ruth and the Yankees wound up playing in the Fall Classic in 1921. So, when Ruth announced plans to engage in a prolonged tour at the conclusion of the Series, Landis forbad him to proceed.
Babe had heard the same thing from American League President Ban Johnson after the 1916 Series, when he and many of his Red Sox teammates briefly toured New England. The result had been a so-called slap on the wrist. The players were fined $100, and barred from wearing their World Series emblems. No big deal. Since the rule had never really been enforced, Babe assumed that Landis would handle the situation in like manner. However, part of Ruth's 1921 barnstorming schedule included more games with Negro League teams. There was no way that Kenesaw Mountain Landis would abide that.
He decreed that Ruth would be severely punished if he barnstormed, and, when Babe tried to plead his case, Landis ignored him. Confident that any punishment would be comparable to his 1916 reprimand, Ruth embarked on his tour. However, after just five games, Yankee co-owner T.L. Huston intercepted Ruth in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and convinced him that the Judge meant business. Babe cancelled the remainder of the schedule, and awaited his fate. When Landis suspended Ruth for the first five weeks of the 1922 season, the country was shocked. Even President Harding voiced his support for the Babe. Everyone knew that the punishment far exceeded the crime, but Landis was riding high and no one dared to oppose him.
American League owners were appalled by the subsequent loss of revenue caused by Ruth's lengthy absence, and the ridiculous rule was soon rescinded. Predictably, Babe Ruth then played against the renowned Kansas City Monarchs on their home field at the conclusion of the 1922 season (October 22). He went 4 for 4 in a losing cause, and then resumed his tour in rural Kansas and Oklahoma. He didn't seem to care that he had endangered himself by playing against Black ballplayers, then venturing into territory under the influence of the Ku Klux Klan.
It is important to recognize the premise of the last statement. Three years later, on November 11, 1925, eight-hundred-sixty-six members of the Monmouth County Ku Klux Klan marched (mostly in robes and masks) in the Armistice Day Parade in Red Bank, New Jersey. That was a seaside community in the Northeast! So, when Ruth thumbed his nose at the Klan in the rural Mid-West three years earlier, he had risked much. For the record, Black ballplayers later reported playing against The Babe in Red Bank.
On September 12, 1923, Babe Ruth refereed a fight in West New York, New Jersey between lightweights Emil Morro (Black) and Larry Regan (White). At the end of the contest, according to the September 22 edition of The Chicago Defender, "Babe was covered with blood and a perfectly good white shirt had to be thrown into the ash can." This happened at a time when many white Americans wouldn't even drink from the same water fountain after an African-American had used the same facility. It is one of many examples of how Ruth was inherently disinclined toward any form of racial bias.
Perhaps more importantly, despite being a close personal friend of heavyweight champ Jack Dempsey, Babe shared referee duties that night with the top-ranked contender, Harry Wills. He happened to be Black. That was not a casual co-incidence. As early as 1920, Dempsey had been roundly criticized from many quarters for refusing to fight Wills. Ruth (an avid boxing fan) knew this, but still provided some measure of validation for Harry by stepping into the spotlight with him.
Two days later (September 14, 1923), the historic Jack Dempsey-Luis Firpo fight was staged at New York's Polo Grounds. Predictably, Babe was seated at ringside, where Dempsey knocked out Firpo in a wild two round battle. During the contest, Dempsey's brother, Johnny, was seen throwing a punch at Ruth. Was that because Johnny Dempsey was angry at Babe for publicly appearing with his brother's chief rival? Nobody knows for sure, but it is a fact that Jack Dempsey never fought Harry Wills.
One month later, on October 8, 1923 (two days before the World Series), Ruth was the guest of honor at a Harlem fund-raiser for the benefit of the Mother A.M.E. Zion Church. Other white celebrities had similarly committed to attend, but only Babe kept his word. He donated not only his valuable time, but also contributed some autographed balls along with twenty bucks out of his pocket. For Babe Ruth, this was not an unusual display of unbiased charity. During his fall barnstorming tour after his celebrated 1927 season, the Bambino visited the Guardian Angel Home For Negroes in Kansas City on October 15.There is a delightful photo from that event showing a beaming Ruth holding a Black infant in his arms. In addition, he personally hosted fifty orphans from that institution during the exhibition game on that same date.
But that was Babe Ruth. He had a natural affinity for all people regardless of their social, financial, ethnic or religious background. Is that to say that he never did anything racially insensitive? Of course not. Babe was poorly educated, and, when he left St. Mary's Industrial School in 1914, he was crude and vulgar. He referred to Italian-Americans as "Wops", Irish-Americans as "Micks" and German-Americans (among whom he was included) as 'Krauts." Babe may have even used the "n-word;" there is no record either way. Keep in mind, however, that as a young man, he was often referred to as "nigger lips" because of his facial features. He was a product of his time and his environment. Yet, he was NEVER deliberately malicious or hurtful.
As he aged, he grew in wisdom and maturity, and established a remarkable record of tolerance and open-mindedness. He eventually toured Japan, China, the Philippines, Mexico and other foreign lands, where he was universally loved and admired. In every location, he reciprocated the affection. He was a man of the people…all the people.
At home, Babe Ruth never altered his positive approach to the African-American community. He played games against Negro League teams in 1926, 1927, 1928, 1929, and showed up again in Kansas City in 1931 to compete with the Monarchs. That contest under the lights was rained out, but Ruth was there and ready to go. A few months later, in December, when Babe was relaxing with friends on a hunting trip to Camp Bryan, North Carolina, he included chef David Simpson in his group. Why is that significant? Mr. Simpson was a Black man who had cooked for Ruth in the past, but he was terminally ill at the time. Despite being unable to work, Babe Ruth invited him to join an intimate assemblage at his hunting lodge. Within two months, David Simpson died.
One year later, after his dramatic "Called Shot" home run helped the Yankees sweep the Chicago Cubs in the 1932 World Series, Babe and friend Bill "Bo Jangles" Robinson enjoyed a raucous celebration on the train ride back to New York. Robinson was not only one of the country's best dancers, but a part-owner of the New York Black Yankees. Robinson had been Ruth's invited guest for the trip to Chicago, and, at each stop returning home, Babe and Bill entertained the jubilant crowds with their joint antics.
On August 14, 1933, Babe Ruth and the Yanks were in Pittsburgh for an exhibition contest with the National League Pirates. The first-ever Negro League All-Star game was scheduled for September 10 in Chicago, and the Pittsburgh Courier sent a reporter to the Hotel Schenley to interview Ruth. After lavishly praising the quality and showmanship of Negro League baseball, Babe offered a powerful endorsement about the forthcoming game. Ruth stated, "The game in Chicago should bring out a lot of white people who are anxious to see the kind of ball that colored performers play."
By 1934, Babe was slowing down as a performer, and arrived at Yankee Stadium on June 24 in a prolonged slump. Before the game, in the dugout, Ruth met again with his old buddy, Bill Robinson. Bo Jangles sprinkled "goofer dust" on the Bambino, who then smashed a second inning grand slam. Afterward, Babe and Bill got together in the Yankee clubhouse, and laughed about the effects of the magical elixir, which was just plain table salt. Is there anything more to this anecdote than good natured humor? I think so.
One of Ruth's teammates that day was Ben Chapman. He went on to manage the Philadelphia Phillies in 1947, and became famous for his bitter and vitriolic treatment of Jackie Robinson. As far as anyone knows, Bill Robinson was the first Black man ever invited into the Yankee clubhouse. He did so as a guest of Babe Ruth, and we can only wonder what Ben Chapman was thinking at that pivotal moment. It should be further noted that Mr. Robinson became an honorary pallbearer at Babe's 1948 funeral at St. Patrick's Cathedral.
When Ruth finally retired early in the 1935 season, he received countless offers to play exhibition games all over the country, including many in the New York area. With the exception of a police charity game in Minneapolis, he ignored them all until September 29. What was the location that Babe Ruth chose for his first post-retirement "Big Apple" appearance? It was at Dyckman Oval in Harlem against the New York Cubans.
In anticipation of the event, The Amsterdam News (a so-called Black newspaper) referred to Ruth as "The Great Man himself", and further stated, "as his popularity knew neither race, creed or color, the 'Oval' should present the most animated scene." That's exactly what happened. Over 8,000 fans, mostly folks of color, crammed into the little ballpark, while hundreds of others gathered on nearby rooftops. While rooting for a Cuban victory, they greeted Babe with warmth and affection. Was Babe Ruth paid for his efforts? Yes. However, he received many comparable financial offers throughout that summer, but, for his own reasons, turned them down.
I also regard a 1937 event as interesting. When heavyweight champion Joe Louis was training for his title defense against Tommy Farr in Pompton Lakes, New Jersey, he invited Babe Ruth to visit as his special guest. Babe arrived on August 24, and was watching Louis box, when "The Brown Bomber" leaned over the ropes and said, "I'm going to hit one this time for you Babe." Sparring partner Tiger Hairston soon landed on the floor as Babe acknowledged his admiration for Joe's power. Soon after, The Chicago Defender (another Black newspaper) featured a photograph of the two great athletes during Louis's official weigh-in at New York. In that moment, Babe and Joe were smiling at each other as Ruth held the champ's taped right hand in his own oversized paws.
Although Babe Ruth enjoyed life in retirement, he also experienced some profound disillusionment. He had always expected to manage at the Big League level, but the job never materialized. Until his death in 1948, that was the single most painful experience of his amazing life. Why did it happen? Some refer to Yankee owner Jacob Ruppert's alleged assertion that Babe couldn't manage himself, so how could he expect to manage a Major League team? However, that bit of so-called history doesn't hold up under scrutiny. If that quote had been attributed to Ruppert in 1925, when Ruth was both defiant and uncooperative, it would have some credence. But Babe didn't seriously consider managing until 1931, which was two years after his second marriage had mellowed him significantly. Colonel Jacob Ruppert certainly felt that Ruth had matured.
On October 19, 1933, when Ruth's future was highly topical, Ruppert addressed this issue. In various newspapers around the country (Boston Globe, Chicago Tribune, etc.), the colonel was quoted by the Associated Press, "I think Ruth will make a splendid manager. He's settled down and is very serious about his future. He's talked about managing a team. I'd like to keep Ruth with the Yankees, but I'll not interfere if he gets a chance to better himself."
Writing for the New York Times a few days later (October 22, 1933), John Kieran spoke highly of Ruth's qualifications, but offered reasons why someone else might disagree. Speaking rhetorically, Kieran wrote, "If he didn't know how to take care of himself, how could he take care of a ball club?" The article continued with nothing but glowing support for Ruth's candidacy to manage. Is it possible that Kieran's earlier quote was later taken out of context and subsequently misrepresented?
Perhaps most telling was a little known incident back in the fall of 1920. After the conclusion of Ruth's first season with the Yankees, he stopped in the Binghamton, New York area for a barnstorming game on October 22. Interviewed by the Binghamton Press, Ruth acknowledged that he had just been offered the job of player-manager by the Yankees. At age twenty-five, Babe was still a free spirit, and rejected the proposal. Jacob Ruppert shared ownership with T.L. Huston at that time, but it makes little sense that Ruppert would have consented to such an arrangement if he considered Ruth unqualified.
For the record, when Colonel Huston talked about his prospect of purchasing the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1934, he definitively stated that Babe Ruth would be his manager. Plus, several club owners expressed their support for Babe Ruth as a manager, and the Cincinnati Reds and Detroit Tigers made overt efforts to sign him. So, what really happened? Why didn't Babe Ruth ever get the chance to manage a Big League team?
We should recall that, during the 1930s, Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis was still the reigning czar of baseball. He knew that, if Babe Ruth became a Big League skipper, he would have advocated the inclusion of African-American players. Although I do not have absolute proof, I believe that the available data indicates the likelihood that Landis's influence kept Ruth from achieving his ambition to manage.
In fairness to Landis, there have been recent treatises by well-respected historians arguing that the "Judge" was not alone in perpetuating the segregation of Major League Baseball. To me, that theory is reasonable. It seems unlikely that an African-American (Jackie Robinson, as it eventuated) would not have been signed by an MLB team (the Brooklyn Dodgers in this case) until 1945 without, at least, tacit support of the "gentlemen's agreement" from many of the owners. So, was there a conspiracy to stop Babe Ruth from managing a Big League team? We may never know for sure. Yet, two months after Jacob Ruppert vowed not to "interfere" with Babe's managerial aspirations, his (Ruppert's) credibility was significantly compromised.
Once more, the Associated Press offered some valuable insights. In the December 30, 1933 edition of the New York Times, this brief article appeared:
The Reds, in their quest for a manager, tried to get Babe Ruth, but all they got was an emphatic "No!" from Colonel Ruppert of the Yankees, Larry MacPhail, general manager, disclosed today.
He said an American League club owner told him Colonel Ruppert had agreed to give the Bambino his release if he could get a job as manager, and that Ruth had made known he would sign to manage a club for $35,000 a year.
The source of that information was the same Larry MacPhail who eventually became the president of both the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Yankees. Despite vowing in October 1933 to support Babe Ruth's ambition to manage a Major League team, when put to the test just two months later, Jacob Ruppert (a close ally of Commissioner Landis) used his power to stop the Reds from hiring him. So, what are we to believe? Did Commissioner Landis and some like-minded owners conspire to prevent Babe Ruth from fulfilling his fondest dream?
Let's put it this way: at the very least, as a result of Babe's benign interaction and strong support with and for Black ballplayers, it was significantly harder for Ruth to achieve his most cherished goal.
In a correlative issue, it is natural to ask: how was Babe Ruth regarded by the African-American men with whom he took the field?
In his definitive book on Negro League history, Turkey Stearnes and the Detroit Stars, author Richard Bak had this to say, "Babe Ruth, affable to a fault, was adored by Negro leaguers." I personally interviewed many surviving Negro League veterans in the 1980s, and none of them had a bad word to say about Ruth. That is not to say that there weren't some guys who didn't like him. After all, Babe was just a man, and prone to misdeeds like all of us. However, I never encountered anyone who felt negatively about him. Among those with whom I spoke were Cool Papa Bell, Buck Leonard, William Judy Johnson, Buck O'Neil, Newt Allen, Ray Dandridge, Monte Irvin, Double Duty Radcliffe, Willie Wells and Sam Streeter.
As discussed in my book. I had the privilege of becoming a personal friend to Judy Johnson. He lived near Wilmington, Delaware, which allowed me to visit him often from my home in suburban Philadelphia. I originally met him to discuss legendary slugger Josh Gibson, but, over time, Mr. Johnson offered many unsolicited remarks about his admiration and affection for Babe Ruth. He articulated his passion for the Bambino as both a player and a human being. On the matter of Ruth's physical abilities, Johnson said, "We could never seem to get him out no matter what we did." In fact, in the sixteen games for which we have documentation, Babe went 25 for 54 with eleven home runs.
That included an extraordinary performance on October 11, 1927 in Trenton, New Jersey, where Ruth blasted three consecutive tape measure home runs against the great Dick "Cannon Ball" Redding. It should be noted that Redding was past his prime by 1927, but Babe's deeds that day were still exceptional. And, of course, there were those compelling encounters against the one and only Satchel Paige. Ruth's daughter, Julia Ruth Stevens, still remembers a game in Brooklyn, where Satch got the better of her "Daddy." However, Negro League luminary Buck O'Neil recalled a different outcome in Chicago during the late-thirties. On that occasion, Babe pounded a monumental shot into the trees beyond the center field fence, after which, Paige stared at him circling the bases. Sadly, we do not have exact dates for either event, but both sources are highly reliable.
More importantly, regarding Babe the man, Johnson said, "He was quite a guy, always a lot of fun. All the guys really liked him." In this matter of player relations, Johnson felt that Major Leaguers were divided into three separate groups. First, there were the hard cases, who would not take the field with Black performers under any circumstances. Next, you had the guys who really didn't like African-Americans, but agreed to play the games in order to make a buck.
Finally, there were the fellows like Ruth, who genuinely enjoyed interacting with men of color, and displayed no inhibitions in showing it. Babe spontaneously exchanged jokes, handshakes and occasional hugs with his Black brethren. Ruth wasn't alone in this category. There were others: men like Jimmie Foxx, Dizzy Dean, and Bob Feller, but there weren't many. And, according to Judy Johnson, Babe was the most personable of the entire lot. During an introspective moment not long before he passed in 1988, Mr. Johnson told me that Babe Ruth had been one of his few heroes.
Admittedly, it saddens me to learn that most contemporary African-Americans do not realize the friend they had in Babe Ruth. I encounter this unfortunate reality on a regular basis. At a local authors' panel in 2007, I was seated with an erudite African-American gentleman, who had written a fascinating book about a Southern Black family during the Civil War. We exchanged stories about our work, and he acknowledged that he hadn't previously understood the essence of Babe Ruth as a person. The next day, he re-contacted me to advise that he had continued the conversation at his neighborhood barber shop. The men there were equally surprised to learn the truth about the real Bambino.
Similarly, I was contacted by Baltimore Sun writer David Steele in 2008 for information about Ruth. As a young man in 1974, he was aware of the racial antipathy aimed at Henry Aaron as "Hammerin' Hank" took aim on Babe's career home run record. He naturally developed resentment toward Ruth, which had carried over (at least in part) to that time. However, when I explained what I knew about Ruth, David wrote a complimentary article about the Babe in his newspaper. In my opinion, that took guts and integrity. It was an important step in overcoming this lingering misrepresentation, which unnecessarily and negatively impacts our cultural history.
Obviously, there are many questions about Babe Ruth that I can not answer. However, there is one for which I feel confident in my response. How would Babe have handled that episode in 1974 when Henry Aaron was passing him on the all-time home run list? First, Ruth would have been furious with anyone invoking his name to denigrate Aaron in any way. Second, being an unusually natural and honest individual, I don't think that he would have engaged in the standard disingenuous but politically correct practice of saying that he was happy. My guess is that Babe would have said, "Well, I can't say that I'm happy about my record being broken. But, if somebody is going to do it, I'm glad that it is a swell fellow like Hank Aaron." He would have supported Aaron's efforts without reservation.
And here is the heart of the matter: if anybody had tried to harm Henry Aaron because he was breaking the Bambino's record, he would have had to fight his way past Babe Ruth to do it. On this, I have absolutely no doubt.
There is one reality that is beyond speculation. During his lifetime, Babe Ruth was revered by the African-American community as well as all other minority groups. When filming the life story of Lou Gehrig in Hollywood in the spring of 1942, Ruth almost died of double-pneumonia. The reaction from Black America was intense. In the Atlanta Daily World on April 12, 1942, columnist Lucius Jones wrote, "Black or white, our common hero was George Herman (Babe) Ruth. Every kid was ready to knock down the friend or foe who denied his personal claim to being Babe Ruth."
Writing in the Pittsburgh Courier six days later, Wendell Smith said, "Thousands of sepia fans throughout the nation were pulling for his (Ruth's) recovery. During the course of his unequaled career, the Great Bambino was lavish in his praise of Negro ball players. The Baltimore orphan…was never accused of wielding the bat of prejudice. He was, and still is, revered by fans of all creeds and colors."
When The Babe passed six years later in 1948, the response from minority communities all over the world was extremely emotional. Not only did every African-American newspaper in America publish articles expressing profound grief and loss, there were comparable declarations from the Latino populations in Cuba, Mexico and The Philippines. For example, in Mexico City, The Excelsior stated, "All epochs have their heroes. Babe Ruth was the hero of modern generations. He has died, but he is still with us."
What does it all mean? To me, when you add everything together, we see a life well lived. Despite his repressed early years, George Ruth developed a highly caring disposition. He genuinely loved children of all colors and creeds, and would do almost anything to aide a youngster in need. The depth and diversity of his charitable work now seems fictional in retrospect. In the matter of race relations, it is fair to categorize him as a pioneer of integration. He certainly helped set the stage for what Jackie Robinson so courageously accomplished in 1947. In the overall context of his life, born into near-poverty in Nineteenth Century Baltimore and placed in a reform school at the age of seven, Babe Ruth accomplished much. He became a true humanitarian, and was so much more than a great ballplayer.

How did the Babe feel about American Indians? I'm working on a story that is legend among Kalispel tribal elders of northeastern Washington state that he barnstormed in Cusick against the tribe's baseball team and was struck out three times. Any truth to this?
Brent & Stu replied:
Per the article linked here: http://www.baberuthcentral.com/remembering-the-babe/babe-ruths-thanksgiving-seattle, in 1926, Babe Ruth visited the Davenport Hotel turkey farm in Spokane, Washington with former heavy weight boxing champ James J Corbett. Ruth personally "prepared" many turkeys for cooking as a part of a special thanksgiving dinner for a number of orphans.
As for the story of a Native American pitcher striking Babe out 3 times, we are not familiar with this legend. Looking up the very small and remote town of Cusick, it appears unlikely Babe would have played there, but it's certainly possible. Also, the tribe appears to have been extremely small. So, unless they were uniquely gifted with some type of phenomenal pitcher, it's an extreme long shot that Babe would have been struck out three times.
Per the picture in the link below of Babe & Lou Gehrig with Cheyenne leaders in 1927, Babe clearly was open to appearing and possibly playing with Native Americans, as much as African Americans: http://www.baberuthcentral.com/?attachment_id=2732
Are there any other Babe fans that may have more related info to share with Jane?

      // здесь идут инструкции, которые ничего не возвращают
   }
}

Что здесь означает Promise<void>? Для меня было бы понятно, если бы возвращалось отдельно void либо отдельно Promise. Что означает такой синтаксис?

A: TypeScript и дженерики(generic)
возможно вы не понимаете значение "скобочек" T<any>
type $qwa<T> = () => T

q: {
  const qwa: $qwa<string> = null as any
  const res = qwa() // const res: string
}
q: {
  const qwa: $qwa<number> = null as any
  const res = qwa() // const res: number
}
q: {
  //  и т.д. и т.п.
}

async function = Promise

*

*промис не обязан что-то возвращать

*иногда нужно что-то сделать только после того, как отработает функция/ии

*async function = промис

*возможно у вас внутри используется await
https://learn.javascript.ru/async-await
let data: string | null = null

async function loadData(): Promise<void> {
  // здесь идут инструкции, которые ничего не возвращают
  data = 'DATA'
}

console.log(`данные не загружены`, { data })

loadData().then(() => {
  console.log(`данные загружены`, { data })
})

пример
загрузка нескольких картинок и только после этого отрисовка их на странице

I have an opinion on the renaming issue, one I formed more than twenty years ago when I lived in the adjoining neighborhood of East Colfax. That opinion has only been reinforced by time. I believe it is in the best interests of both the neighborhood as well as Denver to rename Stapleton. I feel this in my gut; yet the lawyer, judge and law professor in me insist that I think through this problem critically, in a rational, well-informed, compassionate way. That effort is what I offer here.
To some, the name Stapleton does not signify the Ku Klux Klan or Mayor Benjamin Stapleton. It does not mean anything other than the name of the place where they live or work. These people tend to feel that others should stop bringing up this unpleasant problem that reflects poorly on our City and its reputation for being socially and politically liberal. To some it means the name of an airport they remember fondly. They have heard that Benjamin Stapleton may have been a Klansman, but didn't he denounce the KKK eventually, and thus redeem himself?
To others the Stapleton name is an insult to those who fought the KKK and suffered under its rule—whether in 1920s Denver or in other places and times. To them, retaining the name signifies indifference to the suffering of Jewish, Catholic, and African American ancestors and those traces of bigotry that remain today. The name becomes another burden to carry—a symbol that they are forced to face every day outside their front door—a reminder of all the places where their people were made to feel that they did not belong. How do we explain to our children, they ask, who Stapleton was and why a community is known by his name. How can the aspirations of diversity and inclusivity expressed in The Green Book be reconciled with the aspirations of Benjamin Stapleton? What does it say about us if we retain such a community name?.
And there are those who are unaware of the controversy, those who are aware but do not care, and those who are concerned with hypothetical and ethical questions, or believe we should move more slowly. How will businesses deal with a name change? And will changing the name re-write history? How poor a mayor could Stapleton have been if he was re-elected so many times? And what about the slippery slope? If we rename Stapleton, then shouldn't we also rename Thomas Jefferson and George Washington High Schools—which honor slaveholders? Many ask how this community naming was ever allowed to happen in the first place, expressing the feeling that they might not have bought their houses if they had known the development was named for a KKK mayor.
Given the many complex questions, and to respect others' points of view, we have to ask exactly which issues are most important here and what weight we give to them. How do we develop principles for how the renaming question should be resolved? It is helpful to look at what others have done with renaming controversies elsewhere and see if the principles used in those cases can be adapted for our use.
I am borrowing ideas and language used in two reports. In 2017 a committee was established at Yale University to develop principles for deciding whether or not to rename Calhoun College, whose namesake was actively pro-slavery. In 1987 Colorado historian Patricia Limerick authored a report on the renaming of Nichols Hall, a University of Colorado residence hall named for a captain who led his company in the infamous 1864 Sand Creek Massacre of Arapahoe and Cheyenne people. Both reports acknowledge that historical figures were morally complex individuals and we should judge them carefully, especially if the place in question has been named for someone who made major contributions to the place itself. The Yale University report notes that historical names create continuity in the symbols around which people in a community bond through generations and with a place, and thus should not be replaced lightly. On the other hand, the Limerick report notes, sometimes renaming on the basis of values is warranted.
Judging a person by the mores of a past era can be balanced with the ongoing criticism of history as seen from the present perspective.
It would be inappropriate to name a community in honor of a person if his primary legacy is fundamentally in conflict with the mission and purpose of the community.
If renaming will have the effect, in a meaningful way, of "erasing history," then there is a responsibility to address that erasure.
The KKK Era of 1920-1925, during which time Mayor Benjamin Stapleton, first elected in 1923, was a member of and supported by the KKK.
The Stapleton Development Era (1995-2001) when the developer, Forest City, adopted Stapleton as the "initial name of the community," and inserted the name Stapleton in the official company logo.
The present (2014-2018) when activists began organizing to rename Stapleton in light of heightened political awareness and racial dissension nationally and locally.
One might argue that it is unfair to judge Benjamin Stapleton according to today's social values, yet there are certain dynamics in history toward which we should not adopt an uncritical point of view. One of those dynamics is an ingrained nativist populism that rises from time to time in U.S. history, which attempts to define certain classes as not "real Americans," or as unworthy of protection and place.
In his own day Stapleton was controversial precisely because of his KKK connections and his doubletalk about them. During his successful 1923 campaign, he denounced racial prejudice while at the same time he relied on the Klan's financial and political support. In 1923 when critics learned he was a KKK member, a recall election occurred. Then Stapleton went public with his support of the Klan, promising at a rally on Table Mountain: "I will work with the Klan and for the Klan in the coming election, heart and soul. And if I am re-elected, I shall give the Klan the kind of administration it wants." With Klan financial backing and its grass-roots political support, Stapleton survived recall and appointed Klansmen to significant city positions. However, the next year he balked under the strict control of the Grand Dragon, John Galen Locke. Later when Locke was investigated for tax evasion and jailed, the Klan split. Then Stapleton turned on the police department and fired its KKK chief. As a result, the Klan ousted the mayor —not the other way around.
A "primary legacy" is one that has "lasting effects" that cause Stapleton to be remembered–by historians, by citizens today, and in his own time. Stapleton became a popular mayor, as evidenced by his many re-elections after he was ousted from the Klan, but he also had significant opposition. Stapleton was admired as "Ben the Builder," because during his tenure significant public facilities were constructed. Some historians might say these places are his primary legacy, but unfortunately, that legacy is tarnished by the effect of his KKK years. That is the legacy Stapleton is best remembered for now. Is that legacy fundamentally in conflict with the mission and purpose of the Stapleton community today? The Green Book authors aspired to have… communities that promote diversity . . . Stapleton will be a place of economic, social and environmental innovation that will provide a new development model for the region . . . the Plan seeks to reunite the Stapleton site with adjacent neighborhoods in Denver, Aurora and Commerce City. Having a community name around which people can unite in pride and confidence fosters community, a task made more difficult where a namesake's principal legacy (collaboration with KKK) clashes with the community's mission (tolerance and diversity). For children, the name requires them to form their childhood ties and memories around a name that they had no part in creating and whose legacy offends.
Stapleton was mayor when the federal government expanded the Denver Municipal Airport into an international airport during World War II. It is almost by happenstance that his name is associated with the current community. The only connection is that the development is on the site where Stapleton Airport once stood. The naming of the airport was intended to honor Stapleton; the naming of the development was not. The developer declared Stapleton as "the initial name," and created a process for making such a name change. 12 These provisions support the view that the name was never intended to be permanent.
The Yale report recognized that there are different kinds of public spaces, and residential ones are most distinctive because where people call home has special meaning, especially for children. They use the Stapleton name every day and it becomes a part of their lexicon: the Stapleton team, the Stapleton school, and the Stapleton whatevers. Another factor is that the offense given by the name Stapleton is not evenly distributed across the community, and thus a namesake whose legacy is connected to , anti-Semitism, anti-Catholic, and anti-immigrant bigotry, and white supremacy burdens some neighbors more than others. This is an unfair, if unintended, consequence of the name, acknowledged even by some who do not feel burdened by the name, but who are concerned that their neighbors might be.
Changing the name of the Stapleton community does not erase the memory of Benjamin Stapleton in Denver's history—quite the contrary. The name change actually unearths the complex history of the man, the city, and the place currently known as Stapleton. However, to the extent that some feel that changing the name "erases" Stapleton's place in history, then a commemorative plaque could be installed in an appropriate place describing the quandary around evaluating Stapleton's legacy—his connection to the KKK along with the credit he deserves in developing certain city facilities, parks and airport. Such a display could be coupled with periodic events to raise and maintain awareness.
Using this principled, evidence-based approach to decision-making, I feel confident that my instincts about changing the name are valid and will stand the test of time. People living in the same time and space as Benjamin F. Stapleton voiced the opinion that that the Klan and Stapleton were morally repugnant and they expressed their concerns about Stapleton in the light of social justice. It is not historians or "political correctness" that foist these judgments on historical figures. Rather, historians offer us lessons about the recurring danger of opportunistic politicians who pander to racist and nativist views. Furthermore, to name a community in honor of Benjamin Stapleton, whose primary legacy is seen today as his collaboration with the KKK, conflicts with the stated mission of promoting diversity in the Stapleton community. Finally, if any unwarranted erasure of Stapleton's history occurs in the process of renaming the community, then remedial measures can be adopted along with programs to remind us of the hard lessons of political pandering.
Keeping the Stapleton name does nothing to help us learn from the past, to build community, or to face the moral complexities of that name. It merely has the effect of rendering the neighborhood inhospitable, not only to African Americans, but also for those Jews and Catholics who understand their own history of oppression by the KKK–and not only to these three groups, but the name is also offensive to their allies, extended families, their neighbors. It is not white guilt that advocates for the name change. It is caring and a sense of the injustice of continuing to honor Benjamin F. Stapleton from generation to generation into the future. In my view, Stapleton's actions in enabling the Klan mean that he has forfeited that honor. If that was not understood back in his day, in the current era, after the struggles this country has been through and continues to face in combating race and religious bigotry, it should be understood today.

BORDERLANDS | GOVERNMENT
Poll shows 66% of Americans disagree with border policy: What do Arizona leaders say?

PHOENIX – A recent nationwide poll indicates the general public doesn't broadly support the Trump administration's policy of separating children from their parents when crossing into the U.S. illegally.
The Quinnipiac University poll released Monday found that 66 percent of respondents opposed the policy, which Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced in early May. Only 27 percent approved.
The one group that did show support came from Republicans: 55 percent of respondents who identified with that political party indicated support.
"At what point does public opinion become something politicians can't ignore?" Tim Malloy, the assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll, asked in a statement.
The poll, which surveyed 905 voters, had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.9 percentage points.
Although several prominent Arizona Republicans haven't remained publicly silent on the controversial policy, many of the state's elected officials have come out against it. Here's what some of them had to say:
The administration's current family separation policy is an affront to the decency of the American people, and contrary to principles and values upon which our nation was founded. The administration has the power to rescind this policy. It should do so now.
— John McCain (@SenJohnMcCain) June 18, 2018
"We need to look at the role of parental responsibility when an adult is approaching our border … conducting illegal activity with a child."
– Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, via Arizona Public Media
"Ensuring the safety and security of young children is a longstanding priority of the American legal system. In asylum cases, it is especially important to keep families together when neither the child nor the parent has violated any laws."
– Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Arizona, via statement
"I can't imagine the anguish that these parents experience when their children are ripped from their arms, and the abject fear and trauma these children are subjected to when they realize they have been taken away from their moms and dads. This isn't who we are as a nation, and the Trump administration must be stopped."
– Rep. Ruben Gallego, D-Phoenix, via Facebook
"When seeking asylum, no parent should ever have their child ripped from their arms with no indication they will be reunited again. There is no law that requires this. It is appalling that families seeking entry through legal channels are being torn apart, with parents being deported while their children sit alone in unknown facilities in U.S. custody. It goes against our values as a nation. Congress must take immediate legislative action to end this humanitarian crisis now."
– Rep. Tom O'Halleran, D-Sedona, via Facebook
"Let's be clear about the tragedy at the border: It is completely manufactured by Trump and is a direct consequence of HIS policies. #FactCheck: There is no law that requires family separation at the border. Donald Trump can end this now by simply reversing this disastrous policy that has separated over 2000 children from their parents and inflicted immeasurable trauma on families seeking asylum. #FamiliesBelongTogether"
– Rep. Raul Grijalva, D-Tucson, via Facebook
"This is wrong. The administration is choosing to separate families at the border; they should stop immediately. As always, I stand ready to work with anyone to fix our broken immigration system, secure our border, and protect our communities. I call on my colleagues and the administration to stop playing politics and work together."
– Rep. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Phoenix, via Facebook
"When you play the sound of crying, and as you and I have a little person, it always eats at your heart; we can fix that. We really need to step up and find a way to fix it so it just doesn't happen anymore."
– Rep. David Schweikert, R-Fountain Hills, via interview with KTAR
"Innocent children and families are not bargaining chips for a wall. Not only is this cruel and immoral with long-lasting, devastating impacts on kids and their families; it hurts America's standing in the world. We must hold this Administration accountable. #KeepFamiliesTogether"
– Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton, via Twitter

Schleck wins 18th stage, Voeckler leads
Faizan Zakaria Polani
Andy Schleck roared to victory on the history-making 18th stage featuring the highest ever finish in Tour de France history here Thursday. France's Thomas Voeckler put up a successful effort to retain the leader's yellow jersey on the punishing second of three day's riding in the Alps, crossing the 2,645 metre Col du Galibier summit in fifth.
Schleck, who began the day 2min 36sec behind Voeckler, gambled with a solo attack on the gruelling 23km climb up Galibier, and the Luxembourger rounded the final bend with yellow in his grasp. But Voeckler gritted his teeth to hold onto the lead by 15sec. Schleck's brother, Frank, took second in the stage to lie third in the overall standings, 1:08 adrift, with Australian Cadel Evans, third to cross the line, 1:12 off the lead in fourth.
Alberto Contador, bidding for a fourth successive title, was the day's biggest loser. The Spaniard started out on the gruelling 200.5km run in sixth, 3:15 off the pace, but dropped back to seventh to lie 4:44 behind Voeckler.
Farewell to Alpe d'Huez: The last time the Alpe d'Huez featured as a stage finish on the Tour de France, Spaniard Carlos Sastre attacked early on the legendary 13.8 km climb to put one arm into the yellow jersey. Australia's Cadel Evans, the main victim on that third from last stage in 2008, will be hoping to avoid such a fate on the 109.5 km 19th stage from Modane to the Alpe's 1850-metre summit on Friday.
Before the end of Thursday's 18th stage Evans was second overall at 1min 18sec behind surprise leader Thomas Voeckler of France and with a four-second lead on Luxembourg's Frank Schleck of Leopard-Trek. BMC leader Evans also has a lead of 1:41 on Euskaltel's Samuel Sanchez, and a lead of 1:57 on three-time and defending champion Alberto Contador of Saxo Bank.
Although the yellow jersey could change hands on stage 18, which features three unclassified climbs and finishes on the summit of the Galibier, stage 19 promises to play a role in deciding the race podium. Beginning in Modane on the northern Italian border the peloton will ride an easy 14 km before tackling the 11.9 km climb to the summit of the Col du Telegraphe at an average gradient of 7.1 percent.
A short descent leads to the foot of the Col du Galibier, which will feature for the second time in as organisers pay tribute to its 100th anniversary having first been crested in 1911.

Gov. Little Ricky Goodhair Gets (Ice) Creamed by Pizzaman!
From philly.com:
ORLANDO – Georgia businessman Herman Cain scored an upset win in the Florida Republican Party's straw poll Saturday, dealing a setback to national front-runner Rick Perry.
Cain received 37 percent of the 2,657 votes cast, more than twice as many as Perry, who made the most concerted effort here and captured 15 percent. He scraped by former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who did not compete but finished with 14 percent.
"Folks, this is what you call momentum," Cain, the former chief executive officer of Godfather's Pizza and a tea party favorite, said in a video message to supporters. "The Herman Cain train is picking up steam."
I admit, when I think of Herman Cain, I often think of certain things that steam…
Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum was fourth with 11 percent, followed by Ron Paul with 10 percent, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich with 8 percent, and ex-Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman with 2 percent. Rep. Michele Bachmann, who won a prominent straw poll victory in Iowa last month, finished with just under 2 percent.
Interviews with delegates suggested that Perry's defeat hinged on his debate performance, in which he botched several answers and alienated social conservatives by calling "heartless" opponents of his moderate immigration policy.
Perry had departed for another GOP conference on Mackinac Island, Mich., by the time the vote results were announced, but his campaign had spent money on direct-mail advertising and he worked activists at a series of conferences for two days beforehand.
Cain, an electrifying speaker, has been campaigning on his "9-9-9" plan, which would establish a flat personal income tax, corporate tax, and sales tax of 9 percent each. He has been languishing near the bottom of the pack in most polls, but he spent time wooing delegates, many of whom gushed about his charisma.
The result seemed certain to fuel speculation that New Jersey Gov. [Chris] Christie is reconsidering his stated decision not to run for president, as Republican fund-raisers and establishment leaders continue to press him to enter as an alternative to Romney. People close to Christie say he has not changed his mind.
From Dave Weigel at Slate:
ORLANDO, Fla. — Herman Cain won the Presidency 5 Florida Straw poll with 996 votes, 37.1 percent of the total, blowing past Rick Perry and Ron Paul, both of whom had organized to win here. He more than doubled the Perry vote; more delegates chose Cain than chose Perry and Romney, combined.
"It shows you something," said Gov. Rick Scott. "The road to the White House is right through Florida. It pays to be here."
Of course, Perry had shown up — he was here from Thursday night to Saturday morning, working over delegates personally. By failing so convincingly, Perry's ensured that the weekend's "trouble for frontrunner narrative" will be plated in gold and frozen in amber.
Why is Cain's win so impressive? This wasn't a vote a campaign could overwhelm with its own supporters. To win the Ames straw poll, you need to buy $35 tickets for as many Iowans as possible. Here, delegates were selected in counties, and had to pay $175 to attend the weekend's events. The relatively poor showing by Paul is better than he could have pulled off in 2007 — he got less than 5 percent of the primary vote — but it gives us a more realistic picture of his grassroots backing. Meanwhile, in the Tea Party-flavored GOP, Cain is a rock star who generated deep affection. Multiple delegates told me they wanted to send the message that he should be second on the ticket.
in talking to the delegates all day, there was little variation from the panhandle to Miami-Dade, from the I-4 corridor to Pinellas. "I voted for Cain, but I wish Michele Bachmann had shown up," said delegate Tom Andrews. "Perry is just too… the words I would use would be status quo." Multiple delegates told me that had been undecided between Perry and Cain, especially after the debate, but decided to boost Cain because he could use the boost.
Herman Cain – 996 (37.1%)
Rick Perry – 409 (15.4%)
Mitt Romney – 372 (14.0%)
Rick Santorum – 289 (10.9%)
Ron Paul – 276 (10.4%)
Newt Gingrich – 224 (8.4%)
Jon Huntsman – 60 (2.3%)
Michele Bachmann – 40 (1.5%)

Wow – Perry and "moderate" in the same sentence.
Did your head explode trying to type that, Nonnie? 😀
my keyboard melted! 😯
Nonnie, it has been fucking embarrassing to be a Floridian since the year 2000 and this only adds fuel to the fire. I need to escape!
take me with you, sara!!!! i have never been so embarrassed to live in this shitty state as i am now. first the criminal in the governor's mansion, and now this. 😳
I know a girl in Homestead who so hated Florida that she escaped by marrying a Canadian woman and emigrating to Alberta. Weather isn't everything.
i don't think i could ever live with snow again. i love seeing it from the window, but i don't want to drive or walk on ice. however, given the choice between that and homestead, i'd take the ice. 😉
Don in Massachusetts
Many of the delegates had been undecided between Perry and Cain, but decided to give the boost to Cain, see can use the extra boost. Okay.
That whole straw poll vote was a crock of shit, and none of these fucking clowns shouldn't even be running, because they are an utter fucking disgrace.
i totally agree. if these asswipes are the best the rethugs can do, we as a country are in serious trouble.
p.s. i really like your new gravatar, don!
FDR what a president should be like. Take no shit from anybody.
i hope obama has found his inner fdr, truman, or lbj.

LOL@ Bad Humor ice cream. I remember the Good Humor Man with his bike and bell. Republicans, what a crazy bunch. It's sad, really.
i used that sign before (in one of my favorite posts from long ago), but i changed one letter for this poster.
SNL had fun mocking the debates:
http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/gop-debate-cold-opening/1358180/
thanks, fran. i meant to look for that. it was pretty funny, but i wish they'd get someone else to play botox batshit bachmann.
Tex West
The popularity of these fools is like so much space junk falling out of orbit, brightly burning across the sky, then they're gone, maybe leaving a chunk as a curiosity. Will need a lot more flavors with 14 more months of bullshit before they lose again. Like that mouse king poster of Parry.
i just hope the field stays this way.
Maybe Gov. Scott should require drug testing of all straw poll voters.
maybe someone should go bowling with that head of Scott – knock some sense into him
perfect!!!! 😆
given the choices for those 8 buffoons up there – i go with the Pepperoni
Ricky Perry is an embarrassment to the human race, so is bachmann, santorum and the rest of the goons.
I love watching the spin come from the Perry concentration camp
they're all embarrassments. that's why i'm hoping the field doesn't change with any late additions.
Herman Cain don't have a chance to be elected,c'mon he's black,and if I'm not all wrong the teaparty don't like blacks. Or am I wrong?
Sorry, I mean they don't like blacks for president.
you were right the first time, roberts. they don't like blacks. they'll keep a few around just so they can point to them and say see? we're not prejudice! it's the reason they trot out widdle ewic cantaw all the time. he's their token jew.
Spinny Liberal
Dang that is the perfect shot of Cain for that. Scary.
gov little ricky goodhair is lucky it's not chris christie. he would have gulped down him and his entire family.

Q: Python str object has no atribute '__getattr__' I'm new to Python, and I just can't figure out what is wrong her:
def SomeDato():
  today = datetime.date.today()
  todayStr = idag.strftime('%d.%m.%y')
  return todayStr

def AnotherFunctionWithinTestComplete()
  strArg = SomeDato()
  datoToCheck = dato.contentText #dato.contentText returns "13.12.15. 16:29"
  if datoToCheck.startswith(strArg):
    do something here....

I get this error: str object has no atribute '__getattr__' in the line with if datoToCheck.startswith(strArg).

A: strftime is a method of the datetime class (somewhat confusingly defined in the datetime module) so it is called with
from datetime import datetime

datetime.strftime(today, '%d.%m.%y')

where today is a datetime type. This can also be called with today.strftime('%d.%m.%y') as an instance method. What is idag in your example? The error message indicates that it's a string. If you'd like to convert idag into a datetime this can be achieved with datetime.strptime(idag, '%d.%m.%y') assuming that it is in '%d.%m.%y' format already.

A: Sorry, my code is on Danish, and obviously I didn't translate everything. This should be OK now:
#returns 13.12.15
def SomeDate():
  today = datetime.date.today()
  todayStr = today.strftime('%d.%m.%y')
  return todayStr

def AnotherFunctionWithinTestComplete()
  # finds an element in the DOM tree
  date = Aliases.browser.MyPage.FindChildByXPath("some xPath")
  strArg = SomeDate()
  #date.contentText returns "13.12.15 16:29"
  dateToCheck = date.contentText
  if dateToCheck.startswith(strArg):
    do something here....

I've just realized btw, that if I write like this:
def AnotherFunctionWithinTestComplete()
  # finds an element in the DOM tree
  date = Aliases.browser.MyPage.FindChildByXPath("some xPath")
  strArg = SomeDate()
  #date.contentText returns "13.12.15 16:29"
  dateToCheck = date.contentText + ""
  if dateToCheck.startswith(strArg):
    do something here....

then it is successful. So dateToCheck = date.contentText + "" instead of dateToCheck = date.contentText makes the difference. What's the difference?

Abhishek Bachchan: Always take pressure of delivering a good film
Updated on: 24 March,2022 06:58 AM IST | Mumbai
Uma Ramasubramanian | uma@mid-day.com
notifi
Abhishek Bachchan, who plays corrupt politician in Dasvi, says the movie furthers his priority of experimenting with roles
When he returned for a second innings in 2018 after a self-imposed hiatus, Abhishek Bachchan had promised to only take on movies that challenge him. The actor has since stuck to his resolve, even as his experimental streak has resulted in varying degrees of success. Dasvi, which sees him portray a corrupt chief minister who sets out to clear the 10th standard examination from jail, is another step in that direction.
To Bachchan, the rustic Ganga Ram Chaudhary may be rough around the edges, but is endearing nonetheless. "In the first five minutes, you'll discover that he is lovable and sweet. By the end of the film, he has a deeper understanding of society. His relationship with his wife [played by Nimrat Kaur] is something that I enjoyed. Contrary to how we perceive [such characters], he is not chauvinistic," he reflects. One might assume that the Netflix film highlights the need for educated politicians. The actor, however, says, "We are not making a social commentary. The emphasis was on making an entertaining film. After that, if people can walk away with a social message, we'll be happy."
A still from the film
While he won praise for Bob Biswas (2021), his last success was the ensemble drama, Ludo (2020). The upcoming Tushar Jalota-directed venture, in contrast, sees Bachchan shouldering the social comedy. Does he feel the pressure? "I have always taken the pressure of delivering a good film. It doesn't matter where [I] stand in the frame. I have never thought in terms of [lead and second lead]. You should take ownership of your films, only then can you truly submit to them."
It is evident that he walks the talk. Bachchan is known to take ownership of his movies — be it the recent offerings that have won him appreciation or the forgettable ones in the past. "I review my films all the time as a learning process. I make notes to see where I could have done things better. I take criticism seriously because every opinion matters to me. Here's somebody telling me what I need to improve. Why would I not listen to that?"

Are you perchance looking for the word 'seminal' in the sense of laying the foundations for future research?
but by now repeated usage has made it the language's new name.
