1948 Ticket Babe Ruth Final Yankee Game (The Babe Bows Out) PSA Authentic Rare. On June 13th, 194 8 as part of the 25th Anniversary of Yankee Stadium , the Great Bambino was honored in what was his final appearance at the venue where he created so many lasting memories. While leaning on a bat borrowed from Bob Feller, the Babe became the subject of Nat Feins Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph The Babe Bows Out , an iconic portrait that tells the story better than words ever could. Ruths number 3 was retired prior to the game against Cleveland and he would sadly pass roughly two months later on Aug. Offered is a ticket stub from one of the most historic events in Yankees history.

The approximately 1 ½ x 3 ½-inch Grandstand ticket , numbered 01590, remains in strong. The black text and red Yankees logo printed on the original light-brown colored ticket stub show vividly.

The stub, deemed authentic by PSA, is encapsulated in an approximately 3 ¼ x 5 ¼-inch protective case. George Herman "Babe" Ruth, Jr. (February 6, 1895 August 16, 1948) was an American Major League Baseball (MLB) outfielder and pitcher who played for 22 seasons, from 1914 through 1935. Ruth is regarded as one of the greatest sports heroes in American culture, and is considered by many to be the greatest baseball player of all time.

He was one of the first five inductees into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1936. Nicknamed "The Bambino" and "The Sultan of Swat", he began his career as a stellar left-handed pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, but achieved his greatest fame as a slugging outfielder for the New York Yankees.

Ruth established many MLB batting (and some pitching) records, including career home runs (714), slugging percentage. 690, runs batted in (RBIs) (2,213), bases on balls (2,062), and on-base plus slugging (OPS) (1.164); his career slugging percentage and OPS records still stand today.

At age seven, Ruth was sent to St. Mary's Industrial School for Boys, a reformatory where he learned life lessons and baseball skills from Brother Matthias Boutlier, of the Christian Brothers, the school's disciplinarian and a capable baseball player.

In 1914, Ruth was signed to play minor-league baseball for the Baltimore Orioles. Although Ruth twice won 23 games in a season as a pitcher and was a member of three World Series championship teams with Boston, he wanted to play every day and was allowed to convert to an outfielder. He responded by breaking the MLB single-season home run record in 1919. In his 15 years with New York, Ruth helped the Yankees win seven American League (AL) championships and four World Series championships. His big swing led to escalating home run totals that not only drew fans to the ballpark and boosted the sport's popularity but also helped usher in the live-ball era of baseball, in which it evolved from a low-scoring game of strategy to a sport where the home run was a major factor.

As part of the Yankees' vaunted "Murderer's Row" lineup of 1927, Ruth hit 60 home runs, extending his MLB single-season record. He retired in 1935 after a short stint with the Boston Braves. During his career, Ruth led the AL in home runs during a season twelve times. Ruth's legendary power and charismatic personality made him a larger-than-life figure in the "Roaring Twenties".

During his career, he was the target of intense press and public attention for his baseball exploits and off-field penchants for drinking and womanizing. His often reckless lifestyle was tempered by his willingness to do good by visiting children at hospitals and orphanages. He was denied a job in baseball for most of his retirement, most likely due to poor behavior during parts of his playing career.

In his final years, Ruth made many public appearances, especially in support of American efforts in World War II. In 1946, he became ill with cancer, and died two years later.
