This film segment celebrates the legendary baseball player George Herman "Babe" Ruth, focusing on his impactful career at Yankee Stadium from 1923 to 1934. While initially a talented pitcher, Ruth transitioned to the outfield for the Yankees, though he still remarkably pitched and won the final game of the 1933 season. The segment highlights his iconic image on a U.S. Postal Service stamp, depicting his powerful swing that resulted in 714 home runs. It concludes with a description of Ruth rounding the bases and a mention of Mel Allen at his monument in Yankee Stadium, referred to as "the house that Ruth built."
