On this day in 1934…
Babe Ruth’s farewell to Fenway.
A record 46,766 fans packed the park (thousands more turned away) to cheer The Babe one last time at the place where he began.
Standing ovation. Cap tip. Pure magic.
Yankees vs. Red Sox doubleheader.

⚾️ June 23, 1917: One of baseball’s strangest masterpieces.

Babe Ruth walks the first batter, punches the umpire, and gets ejected after just four pitches. Ernie Shore enters—and retires 26 straight to complete the first combined no-hitter in MLB history.

Baseball history is wild. 🔥⚾️

@theblockspot I don’t think so , I think my eye sight is too bad at this point , maybe just maybe give me that 5 years and I’ll be able to hit 6 out of 10 slow pitched soft balls (maybe )
