The Babe Bows Out: Behind Nat Fein's Photo Of Babe Ruth | 100 Photos | TIME
/ timemagazine
The fact that almost a hundred years later everyone in America knows who Babe Ruth was speaks to how influential he was on our country.
No, its just a matter of what gets advertised.
MANCHESTER UNITED his point was , "EVERYONE IN AMERICA" knows, we ain't talking about the world or soccer
@MAN UTD
Soccer is a woman's sport in America.
Soccer Moms.
@MAN UTD are you a bot
I'm a Namibian and I also know him, one of those phenomenal people we had on earth.
Heroes are remembered, but legends never die. So long, Babe. Legend! Always in our hearts.
@Plasser1000 thanks for the correction pal
The Bambino, the sultan of swat, is a legend
I went to a school that was built in 1924 when I was a boy in the 1960s. The library had books written from the time it was built. My favorite was the biography of Babe Ruth and the story of how Father Mathias at the Industrial School for Boys taught the Babe how to play....it never mentioned it was an orphanage and reformatory. A retired man on my paper route had played with the Yankees and later became a scout for them. He knew the Babe and loved him. He SAW Babe make his called shot in 1932.....he was THERE !! Babe Ruth WAS baseball itself. He was a gigantic hero and spirit of our nation to millions of boys who would endure the great depression and survive WWII. Just before his death, he presented his memoirs to the Yale library during a ceremony held on the Yale baseball field. The Yale captain accepted this book and shook Babe's hand....it was G.H.W. Bush....future President.
Never heard this tory before.
For a human to keep touching live's more than 100 years later is truly awesome.
I know nothing about baseball and don't even understand why American loves it so much, but this pic is very touching along with the narration, pure black and white era
It was called America’s past time everyone played back in the day my grandpa would take a hand car and him and his buddies would travel on the railroad tracks to and from the games
@corwin11412 I think it only three. Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan.
Every pitch is an opportunity to score.
@Kent Horvath - You should just shut up.
Well, I do not know why a lot of people like Cricket or Futbol.
What a wonderful, chilling photo.
Adding the color to this film was just fantastic.
A force of nature.
Today you have people that are famous just for being famous. They will all be long forgotten when the Babe is still remembered.
That's what separates people like Babe Ruth and people like Lebron James, that are goof balls off the court and are basking in their own ego.
Like those dumb as Kardashian sluts. Famous for no reason at all and it's sickening.
**dumbass**
@@cryptidian3530 so you are telling me you genuinely don't know how much Lebron James gives back to community?
I wish I could go back in a time machine and live during that period in time.
The roaring twenties. Babe Ruth and Jack Dempsey.
Probably not considering many things. Going back to watch these players sure. But baseball got better few decades later and much of society as well.
@@WiffGiff I'm intrigued by the era. Yes society and inventions got better, but I'm not worried about all that. As far as baseball goes I don't think you can beat Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig...I would take that generation of baseball players over all.
What a moving tribute to a legend. Most baseball fans know the significance of that picture. Well done.
Steven Elief
I teared up at this. I haven't been a real big fan of baseball since I was a kid. I remember it was my favorite sport when I was about 10 years old. I signed up for little leagues but I cut my leg in a clumsy accident and my mom wouldn't let me play that season. I had only played one scrimmage before my accident. I kinda gave up on the sport from that time on.
Recently, for some mysterious reason, I've been drawn back to this sport that I once loved. I've been reading books and watching movies and documentaries all about baseball in the past few weeks. And now, it seems like I've started a new obsession. I really am in love with this game! There's something mystical about it: the different stadiums, the history.... it's almost become like a religion for me.
This video was touching. I watched it during my break at work and had to hold back my tears. Well done. Great tribute.
That’s so cool…to me, he will always be The Greatest baseball player in history. Thank you for that iconic photograph Mr. Fein.
Babe in his autobiography said the thing he was most proud of was that he had met more kids than anyone on Earth! Think of the impact of that statement. He was the first superstar in sports as far as I could tell. When he retired the closest to him in Homers had less than 1/2 of what he had. He stayed true to those from St Mary's orphanage who helped this "incorigible" young man and developed his love for baseball. Yes there is a God and somehow someway the Babe had an invisible halo around his head on the field. For me, he was larger than life - a fairy tale - a pleasant dream - a champion
Well said
Amen to that. We love our heroes. He was the greatest.
Legends never die. He is still here with us in our spirits.
At least he was there at Yankee stadium for the last Goodbye, hopefully he realized how many he touched throughout life.
Including the women
His fans were literally his family
MANCHESTER UNITED Nobody asked
Stuff like this just warms people's hearts...we need to get back to the grass roots love and connections that Americans need now a days.we need to have this spark of unity and love again.
who would dislike this it is amazing
we all loved the Babe...He had courage and a great spirit to stand out there for the world to see him...He was so good to kids...RIP Babe...
There's something about these videos that makes me feel emotional. I don't even like baseball but the way this frames this photo is really touching.
The house that Ruth built. You damn right.
R.I.P. babe
This should have a billion views.
Idiot Savant Totally agree
Most people are preoccupied with shit that doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of life. Social media, how others precieve them, bs like that. Our society nowadays mostly focuses on superficial bullshit. It's sad but true.
They need to make a new more modern Babe Ruth movie!
Ross Best agreed
I'm afraid that black culture has taken over mainstream America & pop culture and unpopularized whites.. & The BAMBINO
You Tube Young children don't know the story
There are three movie bios about Babe Ruth..why should another one be created and produced?
@@kevinbutler1126 I know about two of them -- the 1948 one with William Bendix, and the 1992 one with John Goodman. Neither one was very good. What's the third? Personally, I think his life (and his personality) was full of complexity, light and dark sides -- he almost invented "celebrity" as we know it, for both good and bad -- A good, uncompromisingly honest biographical movie would still be very timely.
I am here after watching The Babe with John Goodman. 2020 now and it's still great!
What a legend.
Greatest Baseball Player⚾️
The best of all time.
one of my dear friends was on the field that day honoring The Babe, Hall of Famer Joe Sewell. i met Mr. Sewell a few years before he passed and became close friends. He was standing on the baselines with the other former players. He was team mates of the Babe for 3 years before he retired in 1933, then remained with the team for a year or so as a coach. He told me that it was terrible seeing Babe like that and that everyone was crying, but trying to hide it from Babe
Remember Sewell. Excellent player.
Don't you know how much fun it would have been to hang around with Babe? I'll bet you'd laugh yourself silly.
As long as there is baseball, the legend of Babe Ruth will continue. He is the standard by which all great hitters will be compared to.
Santa Babe asked the little girl what she wanted for Christmas. She answered, "a baby brother." Santa Babe said, "I'll speak to your mother about that."
This gave me chills.
RIP Babe Ruth know in 2018 u still remembered
Wow... i remember this day like it was only yesterday. Such a long time ago.
No way you were alive in 1948
That's beautiful, an emotional video...
Babe Ruth didn't need baseball, Baseball needed Babe Ruth he single handedly saved the game
Moves one to tears. Rest in peace, Babe. We will say an Ave for you, today on Easter Sunday.
He will always be one of the baseball ⚾️ legends
Thats big in society. There is a man who appreciated life.
What a great video. I enjoyed the statement that this photograph “captures American History and American Mythology.”
This man was a living legend
this was great! thanks for putting this video together!
I can feel the sadness in these video like if someone I admired died and I never got over it
Love that movie with John Goodman the babe one of my favorite movies
This was coolest thing ever!!!!🙂
This picture and the one taken on July 4th 1939 at Lou Gehrig Day where Babe embraces The Iron Horse are two of the most iconic baseball photos ever. The Bambino and The Iron Horse two all time greats !!!
These two powerful men but both died young of disease.
So touching!
Imagine how many career home runs Ruth would have had had he not started out as a pitcher, or played in the deadball era?
Sports Illustrated should have named Ruth “Sportsman of the Century”. Not Michael Jordan. Ruth was the first bonafide sports superstar with incredible feats to back him up.
@aDg 2k18 Mike Tyson?
Indeed. Jordan’s fame will fade in a few years, The Babe’s? Never.
Ruth loved live. The greatest athlete of our time.
He taught that just because you are the best, does not make you better than. How did he teach this? By living it. That's right, he built that stadium. Just to hold all of his fans is why it was built.
and now the stadiums gone. welcome to the price of progress
This is beautiful.
The best ever RIP Mr Babe
The best ever!
His fans dressed nice to say farewell and show respect to the Babe. Moving video.
In that era, people did not dress as casually in public as we do now. Look at all the old black & whites, you'll see the same thing.
I wish I grew up in this time. If I come back after I die, I’d relive it over and over again.
Me too
I came here cause baseball brought me here for the greatest player of all time p.s I love history
SuperMarioLucas I’m with you
Met Nat at Belmont Park signing his photos. Cool guy. His story basically is that he was stuck in traffic and arrived late at YS, this the behind photo. If you look at the photos all the reporters are along 1B, thus he ended up with the photo.
school, *makes me watch this video*
my mind,"try not to cry, try not to cry, DONT CRY."
also me, *starts tearing up*
enough to make a grown man cry
#LEGENDARY
uhuh begone you closed minded person
and we will remember him so well long after your forgotten
I wish I had the music that began playing at 3:30. Such a powerful song for a powerful video.
Babe Ruth will be spoken about 1,000 years from now. His memory and legacy will never die...
It’s poetic that the thing that held Babe Ruth up was a Baseball Bat; because Baseball was all that he lived for.
I am so sorry I was not alive in those days. I would have liked to have seen "The Bambino" play!!!!
You would be very old or Dead 🤣☠️
The music soundtrack for this video is amazing, anyone know where it can be found?
Thanks....
Absolutely beautiful impressive touching video ♥
The best
Best ever
this event with ruth probably would have never happened had it not coincided with the 25 year anniversary of yankee stadium, the house that ruth built.
I think 3 should be retired throughout the majors just like Jackie Robinson.
libertybong420 I agree with you
Oh, please!
john tuttle oh please? Babe Ruth is essentially god to baseball. You talk to any american and chances are they know who Babe Ruth is. He is probably the most iconic sports player in american history.
JinRoh1898 exactly you can ask someone who has never watched baseball and theyll say they've heard of babe ruth ha
wouldn't go that far. he had a huge impact on the game, but his social and overall historical perspective was no where near Jackie Robinson
The GOAT
all good things must come to an end
A day gone by
There is a story that connie mack invited babe to come an stay in Worcester Massachusetts on off season an babe agreed. They drank at the vernon its a old prohibition bar, the bar recently closed down such a shame we losing history.
#goat
The Babe could play in any era of baseball
The 13 people who disliked this, are juiced
GOAT
At 5:39 that momentum happy Gilmore hopswing
Look at the crows in stadium.. the way they dress super cool
People forget he was a very good Pitcher before he played Right Field. That Combo makes him The GOAT.
He's larger then life he made the game in the 1920s important and it kept growing to what we have today only problem is the bums today are greedy they forgot why they play the game and it's not for the love of the game.
Pitched a game and won in 1933,
I grew up as a kid knowing not the man but knew what the BABE “ stood for!
the babe einer von wenigen die euren sport so groß gemacht haben schöne videos
He's the best importante baseball player
I’ve always loved the nicknames the press gave The Babe:
The great bambino
The sultan of swat
The colossus of clout
The big bam
The behemoth of bust
The wazir of wham
The maharajah of mash
The walli of wallop
The terrible titan
i have a bit of an unrelated question. are the color stills and recordings originals or retouched in color? im really hoping original because the color adds as n entirely new dimension
714 home runs without drugs. They were real players back then.
❤ babe ruth, greatest baseball player ever with ty cobb
Weaker pitching tho
#LegandsNeverDie♡♡♡
The early part of the video...when the babe is rounding third quickly...that’s early 1920s there. Rare footage.
Nat Fein took a great photograph. Unfortunately, today, a photo like that would show a stadium full of fans not watching the ceremony but looking at the ceremony through the screen of a hand held cel phone.
Red Sox players and Red Sox fans are not allowed to watch this video. It's sacred!
👏👏👏
The sultan of swat
The king of crash
The babe is baseball nobody will ever compare he's the king and it's how it will always be and Ty cobb will always be second even though first into hall of fame play ball.
These videos are amazing, only 5,500 views?
Bullshit.
Those were the old days but the great days and the Yankee days where they packed them in and every seat was taken, and .50 cents for bleachers and 1.10 for grand stand
Song?
Life is crazy
