You have that incorrect. Those were 2 separate events.

Babe Bows Out was June 13, 1948

Babe Ruth Day was April 27, 1947

They actually had Babe Ruth Days at several other parks as well.

Right, this is the Yankee Stadium version.

Yep, the famous one where he spoke to the fans for the last time. 1948 Babe Bows Out (his last time at Yankee Stadium) was the famous Photo, but don't believe he spoke. 1947 Babe Ruth Day speech at Yankee Stadium:


"Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.

You know how bad my voice sounds -- well it feels just as bad.

You know this baseball game of ours comes up from the youth. That means the boys.

And after you're a boy and grow up to know how to play ball, then you come to the boys you see representing themselves today in your national pastime, the only real game -- I think -- in the world, baseball.

As a rule, some people think if you give them a football, or a baseball, or something like that -- naturally they're athletes right away.

But you can't do that in baseball.

You've gotta start from way down [at] the bottom, when you're six or seven years of age. You can't wait until you're fifteen or sixteen. You gotta let it grow up with you. And if you're successful, and you try hard enough, you're bound to come out on top -- just like these boys have come to the top now.

There's been so many lovely things said about me, and I'm glad that I've had the opportunity to thank everybody.

Thank you."


-Babe Ruth


(Also, crazy to think he was only 53 when he died in 1948,,,,,,looked and sounded like 80/90)

Regardless of the condition, those are a couple of great finds!
