The Backstory: Babe Ruth makes his final appearance at Yankee Stadium, as his No. 3 is retired in front of a crowd of 49,641. On June 13, 1948, during Yankee Stadium's 25th-anniversary season, Babe Ruth made his final visit to "The House That Ruth Built" before dying that August at age 53.
After the June 13, 1948 ceremony at Yankee Stadium, Ruth immediately donated his cap, shirt, pants, belt, and socks to the Museum - handing them to Hall of Fame representative Bob Quinn. Nine days later, they were on display in Cooperstown.
What Ruth failed to tell Quinn, however, was that he had worn the jersey and pants at dozens of benefit games and appearances throughout the 1940s. This included an Aug. 26, 1943 game at the Polo Grounds that raised $800 million in war bonds and a July 12, 1943 event at Fenway Park where Ruth met Ted Williams.
Interestingly, the pants worn by Ruth on June 13, 1948, were not used by the Bambino in either “Pride of the Yankees” or any of his known appearances with the “retired number jersey” throughout the 1940s. But in many of those appearances, Ruth wore pants that matched another pair in the Museum’s collection - pants that were donated to the Museum following his death in 1948.
Why the change?
“It’s likely because the Babe had lost weight by the spring of 1948 due to his bout with cancer,” Shieber said. “The pants from ‘The Pride of the Yankees’ were too large for Babe. The pants he donned on June 13, 1948, have a smaller waistline and likely date from much earlier playing days.”

Can't believe he died only two months after this, and at only 53 he looked at least 10-15 years older than that here.

Legends never die
@@Nostalgiasitcomshe unfortunately did in 1948
@qman66 People are still talking about him 89 yrs After his last game.. I would think that qualifies for The statement that legends never die
The fact that in centerfield it says “No Betting” and nowadays we have draftkings, prize picks, etc
Great catch! And great comment!
@@Anthony-hu3rjLook what happened to Pete Rose.
@@KevinMiller-xn5vuFans betting is completely different than coaches and players betting, which he did while he was both of those things
I'm a bit confused here....
During that time whenever the World Series got underway, the experts would put the "smart money" on whoever American and National League team was playing from 1903-1968.
That to me made it seem like they were gambling...
Absolutely hate how there's so many commercials and links to sports betting
How cool is that!? You hear his name, you read about his name, you see his face on cards and pictures, but man to SEE him moving and swinging and in that iconic #3 pinstripe jersey….wow! Very, very cool!
Just wait until AI gets more advanced. This looks like a cartoon. The original looks better.
He plays himself in 'Pride if the Yankees'. You actually get to hear him talk.
thats why we must talk to our parents and grandparents while they are still alive to tell the story and let us into the world that they were able to see first hand :-)
@@txgunguy2766 Yes., love that movie!
My great-grandfather was good friends with Babe Ruth. Tons of photos together of them golfing and sitting down for drinks and such. My grandpa (his son) has dementia now and all he talks about is being a kid yankee fan and casually hanging out with him. Through all of what he’s forgotten, that is one that hasn’t slipped his mind through everything and after all these years!
CAP!
Ya ok
I opened the comment section saying to myself I bet there will immediately be somebody who's Grandpa did something Yada yada and here it is. Lol.
@@OnlyintheER People make up stories on UA-cam all the time, It's comical.
Stop being name dropper this in your wet dreams buddy😮
I love it how many of these oldie-time silent movies (that were all shot in 18 frames per second) and once were all sped-up when they were played at 24 FPS; they have all gotten a proper transfer and restoration to video. We can now see historical figures as they moved and lived back then.
The GOAT imo
There is no Goat in MLB. This isn't basketball
@@1p4gseriously he's so overrated
people always say "he's so overrated" but they forget he did that all with 0 technology and 0 training
@@shji-kk3xs yeah
@@TroysSweetCornhole wtf is that supposed to mean??
Wow he looks like an old man but he’s 50?
He developed throat cancer from smoking too much.
people died earlier back then, thats common news
It's not the years, it's the mileage
He was dying of cancer, he died 2 months later
@@scoggins07One of my uncles passed away from throat cancer in 2006, and he sounded just as bad as The Babe.
I went to the real yankee stadium as a kid as a Red Sox fan! I did a book report on babe and being a kid obsessed with baseball is a great way to grow up!
That place still had the ghosts of legends there. It’s a shame they moved on from it. Glad to hear you got a chance to go there.
@@TheBreakBrothers oh yes it did! When I even watched the game from home when Aaron Boone hit a walk off home run, you could feel the spookiness of the great Yankees. I always was a Red Sox fan of course but the Yankees uniforms were better looking on Italians like myself and I studied their team history as well
@@TheBreakBrothers thanks for the the reply man! I didn’t realize you had a big following so I subscribed! I was a sports fanatic in the 90s with cards and went to Fenway my whole life but going to the Bronx was fun too and people not from Boston or New York, they really don’t understand what it feels like as a kid and adult to be what of a baseball atmosphere like here! It’s a lot different than any other town unless you talk about colleges, let’s do a pod sometime!
Growing up, watching sandlot Babe was like a GOD!! only saw his name on baseballs and a few cards. to actually see him mannn i love youtube.
would have loved to see him play
Me too. And all the other great players on his teams. Would have loved to have seen them.
He died a mere 2 months after this. Truly the greatest ball player of all time. The Great Bambino.
absolutely ... eternally so !!!
He looked (and sounded) even worse when he addressed the crowd in street clothes over a year earlier. I'd have been fooled into thinking he was gonna stick around awhile.
oof that Yankees logo on the hat is hurtin
AI software has a problem when it comes to upscaling text, numbers and symbols.
This is History Right here.
Volver al campo que el construyó y vestido con su uniforme ese número 3 es Sencillamente mágico..un momento que resume toda la grandeza de el gran banbino.
they never told the babe he had cancer, his family asked doctors to not tell him... he would figure it out late. and briefly in 1947 new treatments put him in remission, but he was very sick and slipping away at this point, about 2 weeks after this event the babe went into the hospital to never come back out alive, passing away aug. 16.
babe live long enough to see integration come to the big leagues, something he always supported. had he lived to the ripe old age of 79 he would have witnessed hank aaron breaking his home run record.
You can see the Old Yankee Stadium 🏟️ before the 1970’s upgrade in the Al Pacino 1973 film 🎞️ “ Serpico “
It’s in a background scene 🎬
One of My Childhood-Heroes!! I checked out the Blue Book w/ Red-Letters *Babe Ruth* @ Grade-School Library a Multitude of Times!!
None of the old Yankee uniforms had that beige tint. Yogi Berra said himself that the jerseys never looked like that. I hate when they artificially add it in old footage. Im glad the one the Babe is wearing look nice ahd white.
The guy was barely 53 here and looked 80. That's some hard living, and baseball had nothing to do with it.
He was also two months away from dying of cancer.
He had throat cancer
The AI has utterly butchered this footage beyond recognition.
Yeah this looked awful
Why? What’s wrong with it?
Some of that crap was weird I thought it was real at first
Definitely seen way worse 'Colorized' photos 😂 Y'all know this was not that bad
@@afridgetoofar1818 The 4K "upscaling" using AI makes all the facial features look smeared and flat. It takes away the natural look of the original film. It would be best to fix the frame rate, but leave the original film grain and resolution the same.
The greatest Yankee ever.
Fascinating... this mans swing was pretty much the complete opposite of what players are taught these days and he was arguably the greatest/top 3 hitters of all time.
Wow all those retired numbers.
He looks like he has one foot in the grave in this video
If anybody else other than Jackie should have their number retired throughout the league, it would be Ruth
Why?
@@TiagoGomez-hb9teBecause he is widely considered to have saved Major League baseball after the Black Sox Scandal over the 1919 WS, where it's believed the White Sox, at least 8 of them, conspired to throw the Series. Babe going to the Yankees in '20 in the media capitol of the country and popularizing the home run is thought to have gotten the game past the Black Sox scandal. Of course, it was a much less cynical time without the media saturation there is today. Today, nobody would be that surprised if a team threw a series, at least if you read half the comments on YT about sports! And for those people on here who keep mentioning roids, they didn't get developed until the '30s, mostly by the Nazis. Look at Babe's stats in the '20s, that was not roids!
@@robbarbieri8676 Other illegal PEDs have existed back then, before the 1920s even...
the batboy asked Babe after hitting a home run in the 9th inning the batboy asked him he said was that number 50 or 51the Babe replied i dont know kid I'll hit them and you count them
The greatest natural power hitter of all time
He looked 73. Sad.
Dude he looked so old
El más grande beisbolista de la historia.
Computerized colorization,all jacked up as usual. What's red is orange which then will turn from purple to viloet and green. Wait a few seconds, you will be confused on what you've seen. The image will turn again from the blue in the jerseys and caps to darker shades or brown, tan and r peach, and sorta off white and cream in the face.
They went fast back then
Will never be another like him
Wow the Yankees took their sweet ass time retiring his number. Eh, how much time does this guy have to live?? Oh, two months?? Yeah now sounds like a good time!!
Babe was a redsox first je built two houses
Jeffrey Rosado...no he didn't, Fenway existed before he ever got to "The Show". Yankee Stadium, on the other hand, was built because John McGraw wanted the Yankees out as tenants at the Polo Grounds because Babe had made the Yanks more popular than his Giants!
"Upscaled" & "Colorized".... These words have meaning but this video proves it only identifies as "Upscaled & Colorized".
He looks like Joe Torre from now,
RIP #3
Lo que deben costar esas fotos anualmente
He was only 52 here.Riddled with cancer
Babe Ruth would get absolutely torched if he played today
Ok racist
yet we cant see wilts 100 points game....
The Great Babe Ruth⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️
It was a hard life back then, you made it to your 60th b’day you made it
People sure used to age a lot harder even just a few generations ago. I often wonder how athletes of yesteryear would make out today. I tend to think they would never come close to being in the pros today. Sorry, but our standards of excellence have just changed. For their time, players like Ruth truly were great. But today? I frankly think they’d get obliterated. It’s hard to compare. If athletes from Ruth’s time had our modern equipment, clothing, trainers, diet, etc, would they be great today? Eh…I still just don’t think so. Pro sports used to seem like a much less serious thing than today. Fans still loved it, and I think the players did too, but it was just different.
Even with the fact that he was 53 yo I don't think he could throw or hit a 100 mph ball
Fun Fact: I believe they estimated Walter Johnson threw around 94mph. They used known footage and timed pitches to back into the velocity number.
@@TheBreakBrothers He is a legendary fastball pitcher representing MLB with a total of 417 wins. But the ppl Babe was playing games with were plumbers and carpenters.
@@onnaquunevie9530 Well the 1928 Yanks with him had 9 HOFers!? Plus the team manager and president are in the hall! And in his career he faced 13 HOF pitchers? Not sure your statement rings true.
@@TheBreakBrothers And the name of the player you mentioned was a pitcher who was famous for his fastball and was unrivaled at the time. If his fastball was 94 mph, other players' fastballs would be 85 to 90 mph. Additionally, there were no blacks, Hispanics, or Asians there at the time, and there was no scientifically based training.
If you think about it normally, you can see that there is no way they can match the physicality of modern baseball players.
@@onnaquunevie9530 you have no clue what you are talking about , you should be embarrassed, BABE RUTH was a HOF pitcher before he became a HOF player , BABE RUTH hit more HR than teams did , that would mean equaled out he would’ve hit over 200 in modern era and he dominated the Negro leagues when the Yankees barn stormed , BABE RUTH IS THE BEST THERE EVER WAS AND EVER WILL BE not even close
These were times when betting didnt ruin the integrity of the game
Nah, it still did...
He was 53 years old . That is Cancer
#3
He reminds me of Walter Matthau
No sterioids.
According to historians at the Smithsonian, Ruth sought an unfair advantage on his competition and there are reports of him injecting sheep testicles to give him more power on the field and in bed. He had an allergic reaction to it. In the 1920s steroids were becoming popular with athletes. If Ruth was willing to try anything to give himself a competitive advantage, why wouldn't he try steroids? It is also believed that Ruth used steroids, because its initial prescription was to provide additional testosterone to the testes to assist with sexual performance. This was Babe Ruth's other concern in life. We know steroid use goes back as far as the 1980s, but baseball acts like it was a substance that was only used from the late 90's - mid 2000's. If historians know that steroids were popular with athletes since the 1920's and gained even more popularity after WWII as it was a drug given to soldiers, what makes baseball and its fans think that its players weren't taking the substances. The fact is they did and that's why it was never a banned substance and never tested for until 2003.
just hotdogs and soda pop
@@jackdorn775 hahaha......... Babe Ruth never ate or drank either. At least say filet mignon and whiskey with a side of coke (not the soda).
@@MrRicklynch57Just googled it, anabolic steroids were developed in the 1930s, mostly by Nazi Germany, so no, Babe wasn't using roids in the 1920s!
@@robbarbieri8676 thank you for your 5 second AI generated Google search. I will continue to believe that the historians at the Smithsonian did extensive research.
I can’t believe he hit 714 home runs with that swing.
The swing of a 53 year old who would die of cancer 2 months later? No, he didn't hit the 714 with THAT swing.
He would have had many more if he had played outfield his whole career and had ballparks the same size as the ones today
@@ByTheSpirit84 No kidding. Polo Grounds was something like 480 to center. Add to this, he did it in the "dead ball" era. He did it without today's tightly wound baseballs. He did it before the steroid era, before bats were made to perfection, before technology which allows you to train better. He did it before the data available today which allows hitters to know every pitcher's every pitch. I just read a story on how the Brewers have a pitching machine that collects all available data on every pitcher, links video with it, and the machine duplicates exactly what they'll see from any pitcher.
When people claim he'd be nothing today, that's one of the dumbest arguments out there. All you can do is compare him to those he played with. Nobody dwarfed the competition like he did. When he was hitting 40, 50 or more hrs, the next closest hitter had 10-20 tops.
"Ruth’s 54 homers in 1920 was more than the team totals for every other team in the American League. Ruth’s old team, the Boston Red Sox, hit only 20 homers. In fact, the only MLB team to hit more homers than Ruth was the Philadelphia Phillies with 64."
@@user-tb2wz1tr8y Voice of reason right here, bravo. Excellent points all.
@@ByTheSpirit84Of course Ruth started out in the Dead Ball era when offense wasn't what it would be later on, and spitballs were still legal.

IDF been bringing that heat tho ngl
not so fun fact the babe and elvis died on my birthday aug 16th
My mom's birthday also!
Without History we don’t exist !
he was dead within 2 months
the GOAT
Need to do a better job on color. Its not like we don't know what skin color Babe was (tan) or what the color white as in Yankee uniform look like.
AI makes it look fake..
We now have Shotani
This needs to be restored by a professional who know what they are doing.
. First, it needs to be in the original 4:3 aspect ratio. Cropping it into widescreen is unnecessary and actually degrades the image even if you upscale to 4K.
Second, the 4K artificial intelligence upscaling makes everything look alien and computerized. The facial features are all bizarre. It would look more natural if it was left in its original film resolution.
Lastly, the "colorization" is so unnatural that he finalizes the bizarre, otherworldly look of the film. Truly looks worse than the original film altogether.
No worries. AI has to assist, even a shorter video like this is over 3,000 frames. Should we hand-color them for you? We are trying to get out more than 1 video a year, so that doesn't work. We use 3 different colorization methods for each clip in a video and use the "winner" of the 3 attempts. Your mileage may vary based on the source material. These are meant to be a gateway for younger viewers, to make the older players more accessible to the younger sports fans. One or two we've made 16:9. We laugh as usually these comments are from people who have never done this work. This is old really bad footage we start with, not HD, Here's the first frame of this video, and see the lack of details and contrast between objects. It should give you a better appreciation of where these videos look like at the starting line...ibb.co/Q9fz37P - Thanks again for taking the time to watch and, um, comment.
@@TheBreakBrothers Actually, I *HAVE* done this kind of work. It is possible to make an old black and white 4:3 film look good in 4K. Film is actually technically "HD" When they release a 4K restoration of an old film, they scan an actual film print in 4K and then clean it up digitally.
If you're taking a really crummy, low quality, digital video, which is a copy of an analog video, which was made using an old film reel, and try to upscale it into 4K the digital AI artifcating will stick out like sore thumb, look worse than the original video, and honestly not be worth the effort.
Here's the original clip from the MLB channel. This is as good as it will get on video until someone takes the actual film and scans it into 4K.

@@greglbennett then you should have understood before your comment the quality of the video of the source material compared to the expectation. I highly encourage you to see our other colorized videos and you may be more impressed with our abilities. It is strange as someone in the same colorizing community to not appreciate the purpose of it being a gateway for kids to see older player and immediately go into bash mode.

@@greglbennett one more note. MLB themselves blessed this and gave us full copyright clearance. They appreciated the effort on the old source footage.
In my opinion, he probably suffered from diabete cause of overeating and overdrinking.

By then, he could barely talk.
Bla bla bla bla bla
Never heard of him.
Ruined by colorization
too bad he abused his body!
that mf didn't hit shit 500 feet
And then America went woke!!!!!
If he played today he’d be in AAA
イチローの方が遥か上だ
Only played with Whites, part-time plumbers in a Whites only league. Never faced great Latino, Black or Asian players. Overrated imho.
Then why did he barnstorm with the Negro League players? There’s also extensive coverage of his barnstorming in Japan playing their best players? Very inaccurate statement.
