        Wait. Babe Ruth died on August 16th? The same date as Elvis and Aretha?

        I’m reading David Halberstam’s “Summer of ‘49” about the Yankees/Red Sox match-up of that year. That slots in nicely.

        Babe Ruth was one of a kind - bigger than life in every way.

        Who else is in the photo with the Babe? Appears to be before the game or the guys in uniform weren't players.
