Babe Ruth & Will Rogers Entertain The Kids
Children’s Hospital - Boston, MA - April 24, 1929
It was 84 Years Ago today that The Babe and Will Rogers came by to cheer up the kids at the Boston Children’s Hospital. Babe was in town that day to play the Red Sox at Fenway Park. He went 1-4 with an RBI in a Yankees victory, 9-3 (I guess he didn’t promise any home runs that day!).

Babe Ruth Meets Cartoonist Walter Berndt
Yankee Stadium, NY - c.1929
Walter Berndt was the creator/cartoonist for the beloved comic strip “SMITTY” which ran from 1922-1973 (ironically almost the exact same time span of the original Yankee Stadium). I believe the picture dates from c.1929 because that was the year that Berndt published the book “Smitty At The Ball Game”, featuring babe Ruth on the cover.
