Ruth Soars to 60
September 30, 1927 Yankee Stadium Attendance 10,000 With one out in the eighth inning, Babe Ruth swung and the crack of the bat was unmistakable. A hard liner trying to hook foul found the right field bleacher 10 feet fair for his 60th homerun, a milestone thought to be impossible. Tom Zachary pitching for the Washington Senators threw a wicked curve ball that will ensure his infamy in baseball’s history books. Babe made his triumphant, almost regal tour of the paths, touching each bag firmly and carefully. Hats were tossed in the air, papers were torn up, and the late season crowd celebrated the moment. The hit was a game winner in a 4 – 2 win. Pitching great Walter Johnson closed out his illustrious career the same game with a ninth inning pinch hitting appearance.

A documentary of # 7 Mickey Mantle
DID YOU KNOW ? The New York Yankees signed Mickey Mantle to a minor-league contract in 1949, the day he graduated high school. He was paid $400 for the remainder of the season and a $1,100 signing bonus. A Yankee for his entire career, among Mantle's many accomplishments are all-time World Series records for home runs (18), runs scored (42), and runs batted in (40). He once hit a ball left-handed that cleared the right-field roof at Tiger Stadium in Detroit estimated to have traveled 643 feet. In 1956, Mantle won the Triple Crown, leading the majors with a .353 batting average, 52 HR and 130 RBI on the way to his first of three MVP awards.
