"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.
