Babe Ruth's Sudbury Home Up for Sale
Babe Ruth’s Sudbury Home Up for Sale for $1.65 Million. Home Plate Farm, where Ruth lived for a couple of years after he was sent to enemy territory, is on the market. Sure, it’s cool that the 5,000 square-foot home has five bedrooms, two-and-a-half-baths, a fully loaded kitchen, and vaulted ceilings, but we think it’s even cooler that the floor in one room has burn marks where Ruth would flick his cigar ashes.

Foxborough Votes In Favor of Anti-Casino Board Members. The new casino law in Massachusetts means that a town’s board of selectmen has the power to choose whether the town will open negotiations with a casino developer. And last night, Foxborough voters gave a pretty resounding “Nay” for a casino by filling in the two available seats with casino opponents: Virginia M. Coppola, who was elected with 3,608 votes, and Lorraine Brue, who was re-elected with 3,500 votes. The Foxborough board of selectmen now stands at 4-1 in opposition to opening up negotiations with Kraft/Wynn. [WBUR]
