1947 Babe Ruth Day - Radio Broadcast / On April 27, 1947, a significant event unfolded in the annals of baseball history, marking "Babe Ruth Day" at Yankee Stadium. This day was singularly poignant as it featured one of the last public appearances of George Herman "Babe" Ruth, a figure synonymous with the sport itself. Ruth's career, a tapestry of home runs and unprecedented feats, had by then transitioned from the vibrancy of his playing days to the quieter, yet no less impactful, role of an ambassador of the sport. The year 1947 found Ruth far removed from his peak in the 1920s and early 1930s, yet his influence on the game and its fans remained undiminished. In this ceremony, Ruth addressed the crowd, his voice reverberating not just through Yankee Stadium but also across the countless radios tuned in to hear the legend. This speech resonated as a poignant capstone to a career that had, in many ways, shaped the very fabric of America's pastime.
The day was not merely a farewell but a celebration of Ruth's indelible impact on baseball, with the echoes of his achievements and the sheer force of his personality still palpable in the stadium. As fans listened to his words, they were reminded of the numerous records and moments of awe that Ruth had provided throughout his illustrious career. The juxtaposition of the year 1947 against the backdrop of Ruth's career highlights served as a stark reminder of the relentless march of time and the lasting legacy of one of the sport's most iconic figures.

/ Who's Who in Major League Baseball is a statistician's dream because it featured the major and minor league statistics of the major league players for that particular year.
This annual publication was available through the mail and at most major league stadiums. Its decline in popularity is said to be a result of the competition from team yearbooks.
Who's Who covers generally contain photos of the top four stars of the previous year. Each edition featured photos and sketches of sports team top twenty players. A world champion photo usually appeared on the back cover of Who's Who in Major League Baseball while the other league champions appeared on the front cover.
