THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF BABE RUTH’S PASSING

Traipsing thunder. lightning and gold with his swing.
Limited time with the Bosox, surefire two-way player.
Involved in the most controversial trade of all time.
A roaring twenties juggernaut.

Always colorful, steadfastly charismatic.
Swung for that awesome long tater.
His name honored Yankee Stadium.
Broke records galore.

A stubby figured superstar.
Cranked out homers rapidly.
Revolutionized hitting.
Self assured, pointed to the Wrigley bleachers
In the ’32 World Series and delivered big time.

His chase for the home run record was melodramatic.
Hit in the band-box right field porch at Yankee stadium.
Won pennants with ease and gusto.
A kaleidoscope of pure baseball lore
An instant drawing card.

Nicknames bestow his honor.
