Babe Ruth


On this date in 1935, Babe Ruth makes his final major league appearance. Phillies pitcher Jim Bivin retires Ruth on an infield grounder in the Babe's final major league at-bat.

"All ballplayers should quit when it starts to feel as if all the baselines run uphill."

I thought Ruth faced Jamie Moyer in his last at bat? Or maybe I just misremembered that.

Both his first and last at bat!
