These Historical Photos Will Make You Wish You Could Turn Back Time

The Babe Takes a Bow

Babe Ruth was one of the greatest players in baseball history. Unfortunately, he developed terminal cancer, but that didn’t stop him from making an appearance at the Yankee Stadium during the silver anniversary celebration on June 13, 1948. He wore his uniform and bowed out one last time. Ruth died two months after American photographer Nat Fein took this photo, but Fein won a Pulitzer Prize. This was the first time a sports photographer had ever earned a Pulitzer.
