On August 16, 1948, Baseball legend George Herman "Babe" Ruth dies from cancer in New York City. For two days following, his body lay in state at the main entrance to Yankee Stadium, and tens of thousands of people stood in line to pay their last respects. He was buried in Hawthorne, New York.
Babe Ruth's final great moments in baseball occurred on May 25, 1935 at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh. He was an aging player who had been traded three months earlier by the New York Yankees to the Boston Braves of the National League. But the woeful Braves got off to a bad start and Ruth's skills began deteriorating.
Against the Pirates, Ruth hit three home runs (No. 712, No. 713 and No. 714 of his career) with six runs batted in. But the Braves lost the game 11-7.
In his final game at Philadelphia, Ruth struck out in the first inning and then left the game after injuring a knee in the field. He retired days later with a .181 batting average and six home runs in 72 at bats.
Babe Ruth was born at Baltimore, Maryland February 6 1895 and died at New York, New York August 16 1948 (age 53).
