Today in Yankee Stadium History-Honoring the Babe

April 27, 1947-Babe Ruth Day. On this day in 1947, a crowd of over 58,000 fans turned out to honor their ailing hero.

In Yankee families, history and stories of Yankee legends are passed from generation to generation. Never having the pleasure of seeing the Babe play I can only watch these old newsreels and recall my grandfathers stories. I wonder what he would say if he knew what was happening to his house.
