Avoiding Original Research edit

We may SUSPECT that the Baby Ruth candy bar was named after George Herman "Babe" Ruth, the baseball player, but Wikipedia is NOT the place for soapboxes. Please cite original, outside sources that make these assertions.Ryoung122 00:59, 7 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

  • In 1897, Cleveland received a pony and cart as a gift.[1] Her obituary in the New York Times described one of her favorite pastimes as riding with her younger siblings in a pony cart.
