July 11, 1914: Babe Ruth makes his Major League Baseball debut.
We present rare pictures by Ralph Morse from Babe Ruth Day, as well as from the Babe’s last public appearance a year later, in June 1948, mere months before he died.
Pictured: Babe Ruth in the locker room at Yankee Stadium, June 13, 1948, the day his number 3 was retired.
