YankeeDawg Posted January 4, 2009 Report 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
Guest Orangeboy Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 How tall was the Babe? Don't look 6 foot in the pitcher.
adminbaberuth Posted January 4, 2009 Report 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.
adminbaberuth Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 Babe in his prime 1927, blasting his 60th HR of the season. . This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up
Gabe Posted January 4, 2009 Report 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?
Ruckdad Posted January 5, 2009 Report 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

I know it was a big deal because he started making more than the President. Now even the nobody's make more than him.
