This dramatic photograph was taken on June 13, 1948, at Yankee Stadium (the house that Ruth built). It was the 25th anniversary of the stadium and the day the Babe's number was retired. Ruth, thin and frail as a result of a long illness, emerged from the dugout into "the caldron of sound he must have known better than any other man." Everyone knew then, as he must have known himself, that The Babe had worn his old uniform for the last time. He died only two months later on August 16, 1948. The famed number 3 will never again be worn by a Yankee player. The Babe Bows Out won a Pulitzer Prize for photographer Nat Fein . This magnificent photograph is featured in the National Baseball Hall of Fame and the Smithsonian Institute .
