YankeeDawg Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 My wife found this NY Daily News clipping dated 6/14/48 while cleaning out the desk. Thought I'd share it with ya'll. I remember seeing it in my Dad's stuff when I was a kid, but didn't know where it wound up. I have no idea how I got it. Here's another one from a recent NY Daily News article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adminbaberuth Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 How tall was the Babe? Don't look 6 foot in the pitcher. Babe was 6'2", tall for that era. He was listed at 215, before hotdogs and beer took over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabe Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 how much do yall think the babe would be worth in today's game? I don't mean if he was playing now but if the money was the same, what would it take to get him on your team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruckdad Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Weel the Res Sox sold him to the Yankees in 1919 for $125,000 - in 1919. I have no idea what that would equate to these days but I am sure it would be a lot. Babe Ruth is, hands down, the greatest baseball player that ever lived!

Don't have a clue cause I can't count that high $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$...but rest assured, the Steinbrenners would have him in the "pinstripes". ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it was a big deal because he started making more than the President. Now even the nobody's make more than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
