A word about May 25





We remember May 25:

"The Great Bambino":    Babe Ruth hit # 714 on this day in 1935.   He was playing for the Boston Braves after being released by the Yankees.    I am not even sure if he played another game for the Braves after hitting this homer.    It's a shame that he didn't play his last game as a Yankee.  He died in 1948 from cancer.

1941 and The streak:  Joe DiMaggio hit in his 11th consecutive game.     He went 1-for-4 against Hall of Famer Lefty Grove.
