Assignment 7- John Felty

On September 30th, 1934, the great baseball legend, Babe Ruth, played his final game for the New York Yankees. Babe Ruth was a baseball player considered one of the greatest hitters of all time and was one of the first five players inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. He started his career under the Baltimore Orioles, but was traded to the Boston Red Sox. He did great things in Boston, but was eventually traded to their rivals in New York, the Yankees. This is the team he is most famously associated with. Anyways, on September 30th, 1934, Babe Ruth played his final game as a Yankee until being released and signed by the Boston Braves. He went 0-3 in his final game which is an awful record; however this does not reflect the legend’s career as a whole. Anyways, this led to his eventual retirement from the sport of baseball, which saddened many of his beloved fans. Babe Ruth changed the game of baseball forever, and will always be remembered as a legend on the field.
