This event happened 9 years before I was born but I am a boomer and I was raised by the greatest generation and they passed on to me all of their love and feelings for the Bambino and so here I sit in 2024 watching this and crying.
He is and will always be the greatest Baseball Player ever. He did it without steroids and no weight training. A natural at the profession he loved. Babe, you are my Idol.
The GOAT without a doubt. Players before him hit for a higher average, some since have hit more home runs, there were greater pitchers, but no-one did it the way the Babe did.
i was born in 84 and yes, babe ruth was all we talked about. we didn't even mention any 70s or 80s era players. it was all babe ruth, griffey, and bo jackson
It’s getting better. Consumer tools are a bit behind professional. That fringe usually happens when the video quality is poor and there is not good contrast or borders to color.
@@TheBreakBrothers For example, you know how they did those Christmas episodes of Lucy and Andy in color? Why not someday be able to do them all like that? I'm especially curious to know what Dennis the Menace (early 60s sitcom) would look like in color.
Cartoons, drawings with hard borders are much easier to color accurately with AI. We are working on a Tu Cobb video that uses AI plus also a new technique we are testing using Photoshop to do an initial colorization on all frames before touching up. The tech is coming.
@@JenniferMedina-bg1zb I’m not ‘like’ 95: using ‘like’ in every other sentence is one of the habits of stupid young people who watch RUclips and stare at their phones all day and night. Are you one of them? It’s like, literally like, ok, like… and FYI RUclips has no age restrictions. And, like, I know more about baseball than you ever will.
@@cadaverdog1424 i literally used the word “like” one time. And you talk pretty disrespectful on a computer which is a very bad look.

I focus my knowledge in more important and meaningful areas of life. Have a nice day, boomer.
Imagine all the folks that got to witness babe Ruth play or even just was at this event. They bragged about that to their kids, grandkids, nephews and nieces, uncles and aunts, siblings, classmates, coworkers, the cashier at the grocery store, and everybody else they ran into or interacted with on a daily basis. Is there anyone more famous than The Great Bambino? Nope.
0:23 I love and respect the Great Bambino, but the quality of film back then compared to 4K HD now makes the Babe look like Darth Vader when Luke took his helmet off in Return of the Jedi. 😬
Poor guy was dying from cancer at this point, probably ate too many hot dogs, one of the greatest baseball players of all time, see him healthier in Pride Of The Yankees(1942)
Our demos show 1/3 of our audience is younger. We hope that by providing these colorized videos that they serve as a gateway to younger audiences to a generation of players that might not be discovered otherwise. The original b&w was great!
Baseball did him wrong all he wanted to do was manage a professional team after he retired...... and they did them wrong they wouldn't let him manage .... and he still came back to say goodbye
To think that he died in his early 50's and I'm 69 and look 20 years younger and am more robust. All those hot dogs, beer, and cigars caught up with him AND yet he put up all those stats in the day..amazing.
@Jleed989 Yes & no, inherited looks and hair color does wonders. 20 years maybe slight exageration, early- mid 50's more accurate I will take that any day.
The flicker rate anc.constantly changing colors of objecta in these new computercolorized version males me miss black and white. Technicolor colorization by hand are so much grander drom film. These are an attack on mind.
Seriously??🤦🏾♂️ They were “infiltrated by evil” by the time the final of the 12 apostles (John) died by the end of the first century. All things considered a legitimate case could be made that the Catholic Church is the most prolific and destructive terrorist organization in the world since the death of Christ. So to see you pining away for some nonexistent era of transcendence is laughable.

He was not the best and did it in a non-inclusive league. Do not be in denial.
@@styles9956 Thats your opinion and you are entitled to it.
@@styles9956He was the best.Get over your white guilt.
@@styles9956he hit better against blacks in exhibitions, from an average standpoint, than MLB pitchers. It’s well documented.
@coreymuzzey7731 and the ball Ruth hit had half the compression then the one Aaron hit. BIG difference.
His throat got so much worse. We love you babe. You are the legend.
Overrated
You are crazy brilliant baseball hitter & putcher babe Ruth @@styles9956

@hectorlopez1069 ❤️ babe ruth original homerun king
@@styles9956why is he overrated? He hit 60 homeruns in a season.
He's only in his early 50s here, seems like early 80s.
He is 52 in 1947
I believe that he was only 48! Tragic!
@@rongendron8705Ruth was 53 when he died in 1948. Lou Gehrig was only 37 when he died in 1941.
The poor fella was dying. Damn cancer.😢
Cancer will do that.
You will never see anyone that looks like him. He was one of a kind.
Hard to believe we lost both Ruth and Gehrig within 10 years of each other, and both were tragically cut short.....
Yeah but it feels like Ruth kinda got a full life in 53 years. Gehrig was tragic he didn't live a complete life
@@andrewsmith325753 is still young. The average life span in 1948 for a male was about 65 years.

Babe Ruth is a legend but ohtani is all around better in a more skilled league.
@@LATitan exactly lol
@@LATitan but O isnt an American.
His spirit was in that old Yankee stadium that park had a different feel to it
Greatest sports legend of all time.
funny joke
He was black man
Maybe the most legendary name in sports history, kids in the 90s when i was a kid talked about him after all those years , i wonder if they still do
i was born in 84 and yes, babe ruth was all we talked about. we didn't even mention any 70s or 80s era players. it was all babe ruth, griffey, and bo jackson
He will live forever. When someone is real good in a profession, Many will say he's the babe ruth of car salesman ect.
The best !
I sure hope this colorization tech continues to improve over the coming years so these b/w films can be colorized without that weird purple effect.

you think so? I think it looks like shit
@@jp783 I agree with both of you. I like it in color, but a human being would do much better that crappy AI.

He aged 25 yrs between 1941 and 1947. So sad!
The great Bambino my favorite baseball player together Roberto Clemente
The Greatest
Amazing he was only 53
Well that took a dark turn quickly.
I wish I could be in that time for a month
Rest in peace, Mr Ruth. We have now a successor to you, Shohei Ohtani. Just watch him play from above.
Little early for that I'd say. Especially with the early injuries. It's possible, just way too early to say.
Lol Ohtani is a Dodger if anybody is the next Babe Ruth it's Aaron Judge
@@Mr.Derogatory316 Judge doesn't pitch.
Ohtani will pitch for another year or two, then the Dodgers will shut it down and he'll DH for the rest of his career.
Its crazy how they kept the race of his mom a secret 😢. RIP Brother… RIP
Nobody can equal what he did for the sport of baseball
My uncle was at this
Yes I was nephew
⚾️👍🇺🇸🫡
People were so civil back then .. so sad how we act now
So this is where Heath got his Joker from
0:23 I love and respect the Great Bambino, but the quality of film back then compared to 4K HD now makes the Babe look like Darth Vader when Luke took his helmet off in Return of the Jedi. 😬
He looked way sicker and closer to death here than he did during his last appearance at Yankee Stadium a year later. Maybe the uniform and cap hid it.
A big hoopla for his wake at Yankee stadium, but didn't want nothing to do with him as a manager!

Babe sounded like emperor palpatine!
I remember that day I was there
They’d all be ashamed of America today.
A cornerstone of Americana...
The best!!!!
Looks much older than 52 years old….
Love Babe Ruth, make no mistake, but I'm a Ty Cobb guy as the 'greatest' ..Robert at 69.
Holy shit. Babe sounded like he ATE cigarettes
52 year old looks like he's 85.
With AI this could have looked much better
And fake
@ no

I once caught a pop fly from a babe Ruth homerun. I’ll never forget that day ❤️
No you didn't
Babe looks like 500 years old.
🤣
His throat tho he was in so much pain probably

Before politics entered sports.
Ruined by colorization
Thanks for watching. No worries, there’s still plenty of the original b&w versions, though not upscaled and 60fps likely.
