This dramatic photograph was taken on
June 13, 1948, at Yankee Stadium (the house that Ruth
built). It was the 25th anniversary of the stadium
and the day the Babe's number was retired. Ruth,
thin and frail as a result of a long illness, emerged
from the dugout into "the caldron of sound he must
have known better than any other man."
Everyone knew then, as he must have known himself, that
The Babe had worn his old uniform for the last
time. He died only two months later on August 16,
1948. The famed number 3 will never again be
worn by a Yankee player. The Babe Bows Out won a Pulitzer
Prize for photographer Nat Fein. This
magnificent photograph is featured in the National
Baseball Hall of Fame and the Smithsonian
Institute. Quotes by W.C. Hines, U.S. Sun (1948). Learn how you can help to have Major League Baseball retire Babe Ruth's number 3. Visit the official Babe Ruth Family Website at TheTrueBabeRuth.com to sign an online petition to have Ruth's number retired throughout baseball. Operated by Babe Ruth's Granddaughter Linda Ruth Tosetti, the site is very informative and a must for Babe Ruth fans and baseball historians.
