"The Babe Bows Out" is a phrase often associated with Babe Ruth’s farewell to baseball, particularly referencing his final appearance at Yankee Stadium on June 13, 1948. This emotional moment marked the end of an era in baseball history and is widely remembered due to the image of a frail Ruth in a Yankees uniform, leaning on a bat like a cane during a ceremony commemorating the 25th anniversary of Yankee Stadium — also known as "The House That Ruth Built."

Here are a few key points about this event:

Date: June 13, 1948

Occasion: 25th anniversary of Yankee Stadium

Significance: It was Babe Ruth’s last public appearance before his death on August 16, 1948.

Image: One of the most iconic sports photographs ever taken shows Ruth standing alone at home plate, surrounded by shadows, symbolizing the end of his legendary career.

Health: Ruth was gravely ill with cancer at the time, and his appearance was visibly emotional and physically difficult.
