Item # 720043
July 10, 1933
THE SPRINGFIELD UNION, Mass., July 10, 1933
* Babe Ruth hits 3 home runs
* New York Yankees baseball
The top of page 10 has a two column heading: "Ruth Belts Three Homers as Yankees Win Twin Bill" with subhead and box scores.
Complete with 14 pages, light toning and some wear at the margins, generally in good condition.
background: On July 9, 1933, Babe Ruth—already a baseball legend near the end of his career—hit three home runs in a single game during the second game of a doubleheader against the Philadelphia Athletics at Shibe Park. At 38 years old, Ruth’s power was beginning to fade compared to his prime years, but that day he reminded fans of his dominance by blasting long balls that accounted for all three of the Yankees’ runs in a 9–7 loss. It was the seventh and final time in his career that Ruth hit three homers in one game, a mark he had achieved more often than any other player up to that point. This feat came just weeks after he had starred in the inaugural 1933 All-Star Game in Chicago, where he hit the first home run in All-Star history.
