Newspaper headlines of Babe Ruth's "swan song" at Forbes Field. The Babe batted 4-for-4 that day with his final HR (#714) a tremendous drive
which cleared the RF roof of Forbes Field (first time anyone ever achieved that). And, Jesse Owens breaking more records in preparation for the 1936 Olympics. ![]() How's about posting some more newspaper clippings of great events in Baseball. TED Z .

Ted I think you previously posted the whole article, I remember distinctly they kept referring to Ruth as "the Great Man."

Your thinking is correct, I did post this same news clipping (in it's entirety) several years ago. I re-posted this item here in order to encourage the posting of more newspaper clippings of some of the great events (circa 19th Century - modern times) in BB. So far, it appears that there isn't any interest in posting such stuff. Have a Happy Thanksgiving, Peter. TED Z . |

That is an understatement. In 45 minutes he set 3 world records (actually 5 as 2 of his races counted for both 220 yds and 200 m) and tied a 4th, although most times had him breaking the 100 yd dash record. In my opinion, the greatest accomplishment in sports history.
