The Babe Bows Out: Top 100 Photos

1. I chose this photo because I have always been very intrigued in sports history and sports in general. What caught my eye is the famous Babe Ruth in the center saying goodbye to his beloved sport and the framing that was used with the number 3.  and I wanted to learn more about that. This photo is also very god for it being 1948. Th equality is very clean and the background is blurred out.

2. What I read was about why he is bowing down to baseball. Ruth had terminal cancer and even at his weakest points he was there to retire his jersey number and celebrate the silver anniversary of Yankee Stadium. The photographer is talked about being behind him while he walks out leaning on his famous bat.

3. This photo is about how Babe Ruth is struggling from terminal cancer which he died two moths after he was on the field of Yankee Stadium. The photographer, Nat Fien captured this on June 13th, 1948 and further on won a Pulitzer Prize for his picture.
