I went to a school that was built in 1924 when I was a boy in the 1960s. The library had books written from the time it was built. My favorite was the biography of Babe Ruth and the story of how Father Mathias at the Industrial School for Boys taught the Babe how to play....it never mentioned it was an orphanage and reformatory. A retired man on my paper route had played with the Yankees and later became a scout for them. He knew the Babe and loved him. He SAW Babe make his called shot in 1932.....he was THERE !! Babe Ruth WAS baseball itself. He was a gigantic hero and spirit of our nation to millions of boys who would endure the great depression and survive WWII. Just before his death, he presented his memoirs to the Yale library during a ceremony held on the Yale baseball field. The Yale captain accepted this book and shook Babe's hand....it was G.H.W. Bush....future President.
I know nothing about baseball and don't even understand why American loves it so much, but this pic is very touching along with the narration, pure black and white era
It was called America’s past time everyone played back in the day my grandpa would take a hand car and him and his buddies would travel on the railroad tracks to and from the games
I teared up at this. I haven't been a real big fan of baseball since I was a kid. I remember it was my favorite sport when I was about 10 years old. I signed up for little leagues but I cut my leg in a clumsy accident and my mom wouldn't let me play that season. I had only played one scrimmage before my accident. I kinda gave up on the sport from that time on. Recently, for some mysterious reason, I've been drawn back to this sport that I once loved. I've been reading books and watching movies and documentaries all about baseball in the past few weeks. And now, it seems like I've started a new obsession. I really am in love with this game! There's something mystical about it: the different stadiums, the history.... it's almost become like a religion for me. This video was touching. I watched it during my break at work and had to hold back my tears. Well done. Great tribute.
Babe in his autobiography said the thing he was most proud of was that he had met more kids than anyone on Earth! Think of the impact of that statement. He was the first superstar in sports as far as I could tell. When he retired the closest to him in Homers had less than 1/2 of what he had. He stayed true to those from St Mary's orphanage who helped this "incorigible" young man and developed his love for baseball. Yes there is a God and somehow someway the Babe had an invisible halo around his head on the field. For me, he was larger than life - a fairy tale - a pleasant dream - a champion
@@WiffGiff I'm intrigued by the era. Yes society and inventions got better, but I'm not worried about all that. As far as baseball goes I don't think you can beat Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig...I would take that generation of baseball players over all.
Most people are preoccupied with shit that doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of life. Social media, how others precieve them, bs like that. Our society nowadays mostly focuses on superficial bullshit. It's sad but true.
Stuff like this just warms people's hearts...we need to get back to the grass roots love and connections that Americans need now a days.we need to have this spark of unity and love again.
@@kevinbutler1126 I know about two of them -- the 1948 one with William Bendix, and the 1992 one with John Goodman. Neither one was very good. What's the third? Personally, I think his life (and his personality) was full of complexity, light and dark sides -- he almost invented "celebrity" as we know it, for both good and bad -- A good, uncompromisingly honest biographical movie would still be very timely.
one of my dear friends was on the field that day honoring The Babe, Hall of Famer Joe Sewell. i met Mr. Sewell a few years before he passed and became close friends. He was standing on the baselines with the other former players. He was team mates of the Babe for 3 years before he retired in 1933, then remained with the team for a year or so as a coach. He told me that it was terrible seeing Babe like that and that everyone was crying, but trying to hide it from Babe
This picture and the one taken on July 4th 1939 at Lou Gehrig Day where Babe embraces The Iron Horse are two of the most iconic baseball photos ever. The Bambino and The Iron Horse two all time greats !!!
Santa Babe asked the little girl what she wanted for Christmas. She answered, "a baby brother." Santa Babe said, "I'll speak to your mother about that."
Met Nat at Belmont Park signing his photos. Cool guy. His story basically is that he was stuck in traffic and arrived late at YS, this the behind photo. If you look at the photos all the reporters are along 1B, thus he ended up with the photo.
Sports Illustrated should have named Ruth “Sportsman of the Century”. Not Michael Jordan. Ruth was the first bonafide sports superstar with incredible feats to back him up.
He taught that just because you are the best, does not make you better than. How did he teach this? By living it. That's right, he built that stadium. Just to hold all of his fans is why it was built.
this event with ruth probably would have never happened had it not coincided with the 25 year anniversary of yankee stadium, the house that ruth built.
He's larger then life he made the game in the 1920s important and it kept growing to what we have today only problem is the bums today are greedy they forgot why they play the game and it's not for the love of the game.
There is a story that connie mack invited babe to come an stay in Worcester Massachusetts on off season an babe agreed. They drank at the vernon its a old prohibition bar, the bar recently closed down such a shame we losing history.
I’ve always loved the nicknames the press gave The Babe: The great bambino The sultan of swat The colossus of clout The big bam The behemoth of bust The wazir of wham The maharajah of mash The walli of wallop The terrible titan
i have a bit of an unrelated question. are the color stills and recordings originals or retouched in color? im really hoping original because the color adds as n entirely new dimension
The live ball was not introduced into baseball partly cuz of babe ruth in 1920. I am not going to explain here. I will make my own video about it on my channel.
The babe is baseball nobody will ever compare he's the king and it's how it will always be and Ty cobb will always be second even though first into hall of fame play ball.
The fact that almost a hundred years later everyone in America knows who Babe Ruth was speaks to how influential he was on our country.
No, its just a matter of what gets advertised.
MANCHESTER UNITED his point was , "EVERYONE IN AMERICA" knows, we ain't talking about the world or soccer
@MAN UTD
Soccer is a woman's sport in America.
Soccer Moms.
@MAN UTD are you a bot
I'm a Namibian and I also know him, one of those phenomenal people we had on earth.

Never heard this tory before.
Heroes are remembered, but legends never die. So long, Babe. Legend! Always in our hearts.
*Heroes ARE remembered.
@ thanks for the correction pal
The Bambino, the sultan of swat, is a legend

@corwin11412 I think it only three. Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan.
Every pitch is an opportunity to score.
@Kent Horvath - You should just shut up.
Well, I do not know why a lot of people like Cricket or Futbol.
For a human to keep touching live's more than 100 years later is truly awesome.
A force of nature.
Today you have people that are famous just for being famous. They will all be long forgotten when the Babe is still remembered.
That's what separates people like Babe Ruth and people like Lebron James, that are goof balls off the court and are basking in their own ego.
Like those dumb as Kardashian sluts. Famous for no reason at all and it's sickening.
**dumbass**
@@cryptidian3530 so you are telling me you genuinely don't know how much Lebron James gives back to community?

That’s so cool…to me, he will always be The Greatest baseball player in history. Thank you for that iconic photograph Mr. Fein.

Well said
Amen to that. We love our heroes. He was the greatest.
Beautifully stated.
He changed everything! Period! The most iconic athlete ever! No one will ever even come close!
I wish I could go back in a time machine and live during that period in time.
The roaring twenties. Babe Ruth and Jack Dempsey.
Probably not considering many things. Going back to watch these players sure. But baseball got better few decades later and much of society as well.
@@WiffGiff I'm intrigued by the era. Yes society and inventions got better, but I'm not worried about all that. As far as baseball goes I don't think you can beat Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig...I would take that generation of baseball players over all.
What a moving tribute to a legend. Most baseball fans know the significance of that picture. Well done.
Steven Elief
Legends never die. He is still here with us in our spirits.
This should have a billion views.
Idiot Savant Totally agree
Most people are preoccupied with shit that doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of life. Social media, how others precieve them, bs like that. Our society nowadays mostly focuses on superficial bullshit. It's sad but true.
There's something about these videos that makes me feel emotional. I don't even like baseball but the way this frames this photo is really touching.
Adding the color to this film was just fantastic.
At least he was there at Yankee stadium for the last Goodbye, hopefully he realized how many he touched throughout life.
Including the women
Stuff like this just warms people's hearts...we need to get back to the grass roots love and connections that Americans need now a days.we need to have this spark of unity and love again.
They need to make a new more modern Babe Ruth movie!
Ross Best agreed
I'm afraid that black culture has taken over mainstream America & pop culture and unpopularized whites.. & The BAMBINO
You Tube Young children don't know the story
There are three movie bios about Babe Ruth..why should another one be created and produced?
@@kevinbutler1126 I know about two of them -- the 1948 one with William Bendix, and the 1992 one with John Goodman. Neither one was very good. What's the third?

we all loved the Babe...He had courage and a great spirit to stand out there for the world to see him...He was so good to kids...RIP Babe...
His fans were literally his family
MANCHESTER UNITED Nobody asked
What a wonderful, chilling photo.

Remember Sewell. Excellent player.
The house that Ruth built. You damn right.
I am here after watching The Babe with John Goodman. 2020 now and it's still great!
What a legend.
Thats big in society. There is a man who appreciated life.
who would dislike this it is amazing
As long as there is baseball, the legend of Babe Ruth will continue. He is the standard by which all great hitters will be compared to.
Babe Ruth didn't need baseball, Baseball needed Babe Ruth he single handedly saved the game
Greatest Baseball Player⚾️
Don't you know how much fun it would have been to hang around with Babe? I'll bet you'd laugh yourself silly.
Wow... i remember this day like it was only yesterday. Such a long time ago.
No way you were alive in 1948
This man was a living legend
This picture and the one taken on July 4th 1939 at Lou Gehrig Day where Babe embraces The Iron Horse are two of the most iconic baseball photos ever. The Bambino and The Iron Horse two all time greats !!!
These two powerful men but both died young of disease.
Santa Babe asked the little girl what she wanted for Christmas. She answered, "a baby brother." Santa Babe said, "I'll speak to your mother about that."
What a great video. I enjoyed the statement that this photograph “captures American History and American Mythology.”
I can feel the sadness in these video like if someone I admired died and I never got over it
Moves one to tears. Rest in peace, Babe. We will say an Ave for you, today on Easter Sunday.
This was coolest thing ever!!!!🙂
He will always be one of the baseball ⚾️ legends
Met Nat at Belmont Park signing his photos. Cool guy. His story basically is that he was stuck in traffic and arrived late at YS, this the behind photo. If you look at the photos all the reporters are along 1B, thus he ended up with the photo.
I wish I grew up in this time. If I come back after I die, I’d relive it over and over again.
Me too
#LEGENDARY
uhuh begone you closed minded person
and we will remember him so well long after your forgotten
This gave me chills.
That's beautiful, an emotional video...
The best of all time.
Sports Illustrated should have named Ruth “Sportsman of the Century”. Not Michael Jordan. Ruth was the first bonafide sports superstar with incredible feats to back him up.
@aDg 2k18 Mike Tyson?
Indeed. Jordan’s fame will fade in a few years, The Babe’s? Never.
this was great! thanks for putting this video together!
The best ever RIP Mr Babe
RIP Babe Ruth know in 2018 u still remembered
Imagine how many career home runs Ruth would have had had he not started out as a pitcher, or played in the deadball era?
He taught that just because you are the best, does not make you better than. How did he teach this? By living it. That's right, he built that stadium. Just to hold all of his fans is why it was built.
and now the stadiums gone. welcome to the price of progress
R.I.P. babe
I came here cause baseball brought me here for the greatest player of all time p.s I love history
SuperMarioLucas I’m with you
Ruth loved live. The greatest athlete of our time.
Babe Ruth will be spoken about 1,000 years from now. His memory and legacy will never die...
It’s poetic that the thing that held Babe Ruth up was a Baseball Bat; because Baseball was all that he lived for.
So touching!
This is beautiful.
His fans dressed nice to say farewell and show respect to the Babe. Moving video.
In that era, people did not dress as casually in public as we do now. Look at all the old black & whites, you'll see the same thing.
I wish I had the music that began playing at 3:30. Such a powerful song for a powerful video.
Love that movie with John Goodman the babe one of my favorite movies
enough to make a grown man cry
714 home runs without drugs. They were real players back then.
❤ babe ruth, greatest baseball player ever with ty cobb
Weaker pitching tho
I am so sorry I was not alive in those days. I would have liked to have seen "The Bambino" play!!!!
You would be very old or Dead 🤣☠️
school, *makes me watch this video*
my mind,"try not to cry, try not to cry, DONT CRY."
also me, *starts tearing up*
this event with ruth probably would have never happened had it not coincided with the 25 year anniversary of yankee stadium, the house that ruth built.
The best ever!
The Babe could play in any era of baseball
Thanks....
People forget he was a very good Pitcher before he played Right Field. That Combo makes him The GOAT.
He's larger then life he made the game in the 1920s important and it kept growing to what we have today only problem is the bums today are greedy they forgot why they play the game and it's not for the love of the game.
Pitched a game and won in 1933,
The music soundtrack for this video is amazing, anyone know where it can be found?
At 5:39 that momentum happy Gilmore hopswing
There is a story that connie mack invited babe to come an stay in Worcester Massachusetts on off season an babe agreed. They drank at the vernon its a old prohibition bar, the bar recently closed down such a shame we losing history.
The 13 people who disliked this, are juiced
The best
#goat
There will never be anyone like him again. He came along just in time to save baseball after the Black Sox scandal.
all good things must come to an end
THAT isn't the point.
GOAT
I grew up as a kid knowing not the man but knew what the BABE “ stood for!
Absolutely beautiful impressive touching video ♥
I’ve always loved the nicknames the press gave The Babe:
The great bambino
The sultan of swat
The colossus of clout
The big bam
The behemoth of bust
The wazir of wham
The maharajah of mash
The walli of wallop
The terrible titan
Best ever
👏👏👏
i have a bit of an unrelated question. are the color stills and recordings originals or retouched in color? im really hoping original because the color adds as n entirely new dimension
He's the best importante baseball player
Wow!
Red Sox players and Red Sox fans are not allowed to watch this video. It's sacred!
“Heroes get remembered, but
LEGENDS never die 🥹.”- circa, 1930s
BABE ‘Bambino RUTH
Look at the crows in stadium.. the way they dress super cool
The live ball was not introduced into baseball partly cuz of babe ruth in 1920. I am not going to explain here. I will make my own video about it on my channel.
The early part of the video...when the babe is rounding third quickly...that’s early 1920s there. Rare footage.
the babe einer von wenigen die euren sport so groß gemacht haben schöne videos
The babe is baseball nobody will ever compare he's the king and it's how it will always be and Ty cobb will always be second even though first into hall of fame play ball.
A day gone by
The sultan of swat
The king of crash
You know what they say, "home run hitters drive cadillacs"
dont even follow sports and im cryin
9 people dislike this? LOL Barry Bonds fans? LOL
larry thomas lol , just asking serious question, what do Barry bonds fans have against babe Ruth ? I want to catch up im late as hell
probably waite hoyt fans. pitching wins games, hits just gets people on base.
