We'd be remiss if we didn't quote the priceless poetry in this tribute to Yankee newcomer Babe Ruth...
Now Babe Ruth's a treasure beyond early measure
Down in the depths of all hearts, boys
To reach his position is youth's one ambition
the cynosure of all their hearts joys
To swat like Ruth is their dream night and day
His brilliant homers stole their hearts away
Ruth! Ruth! oh you Babe Ruth
You are in all our themes
Your kind face holds a place
In every Yankee lads dreams they love you
Your true sharp eyes of blue
Idol of all forsooth
Heaven above
Can't change the love
We hold for you Babe Ruth.
