Baseball legend Babe Ruth played his last game as a Yankee in New York on this day in history, Sept. 24, 1934.
He was 39 years old.
Only 4,000 fans were on hand for his finale at Yankee Stadium, which was against the Boston Red Sox, noted The Los Angeles Times.
Ruth was walked in the first inning. He was replaced by pinch-runner Myril Hoag, recounted the same source.
No one knew at the time that the day would be his last in pinstripes at Yankee Stadium. Ruth was traded in the off-season.
Remarkably, this day in history is “a double-landmark” day for Ruth — as Sept. 24, 1919, is the same date that he became baseball’s single-season home run record holder, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The two milestones were 15 years apart.
Only 24 years old in 1919, Ruth was both a pitcher and an outfielder for the Boston Red Sox.
He was 9-5 and had a 2.97 earned-run average in the 17 games he pitched, according to the same source.
ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY, SEPT. 30, 1927, BABE RUTH SWATS RECORD 60TH HOME RUN, SHOCKS SPORTS WORLD
“He played in 130 games, batted .322 and drove in 114 runs. And on this date, he hit his 28th home run, breaking Ned Williamson’s single-season record. Ruth finished the season with 29 homers,” said The Los Angeles Times.
The next year, Ruth would wear a Yankee uniform — and as a full-time outfielder he smashed 54 home runs.
On Aug. 11, 1929, as a New York Yankees slugger, Ruth became the first player to eclipse 500 career home runs, according to ESPN.
He was already baseball’s all-time home run leader to that point, and by a comfortable margin, according to multiple sources.
It took until 1940 before anyone joined Ruth in the 500 home-run club, when Boston Red Sox first baseman Jimmie Foxx hit his just over 11 years later, noted ESPN.
BABE RUTH GLOVE SELLS FOR RECORD $1.5 MILLION AT AUCTION
Across his first six MLB seasons as a member of the Red Sox, Ruth hit 49 home runs while also spending time as a pitcher.
He exploded once he became a Yankee, though, blasting 467 home runs in the 1920s alone, the same source chronicled.
Interestingly, Ruth was walked more than any batter in history, 2,056 times, according to The Los Angeles Times.
In 1923, he was walked 170 times — for another record.
After his 54- and 59-homer seasons of 1920 and ‘21, his intentional walks skyrocketed.
“In 13 seasons he was passed more than 100 times,” the same source noted.
ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY, MAY 25, 1935, BABE RUTH HITS HIS 714TH HOME RUN
Known as “The Bambino,” Ruth concluded his career with 714 home runs, an individual record that stood until Atlanta Braves outfielder Hank Aaron passed him in 1974.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Barry Bonds took over as the home run king in 2007, and he still has the most at 762, the same source stated.
Ruth was a member of the inaugural National Baseball Hall of Fame class in 1936.
He was honored along with Ty Cobb, Walter Johnson, Christy Mathewson and Honus Wagner, according to several sources.
The seven-time World Series champion naturally has his No. 3 jersey retired by the Yankees.
The first season the Yankees even wore jersey numbers was 1929, the same year Ruth hit 500 home runs, according to Sports Illustrated.
Ruth died of throat cancer at age 53 on Aug. 16, 1948, in New York City.
His body lay in state at Yankee Stadium for two days. During that time, over 100,000 fans paid their last respects, according to History.com.

As the New York Yankees stepped onto the field at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx on Tuesday night for the first of their three-game series against the Chicago White Sox, they were surrounded by an eerie haze as a result of the ongoing wildfires in Canada.
Videos and images shared on social media showed the dystopian fog that engulfed the skies in New York as a result of the intense wildfires that continue to burn in Quebec and northern Ontario.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced Tuesday afternoon that an “Air Quality Health Advisory” was in effect until Wednesday night, and urged residents to “limit outdoor activities.”

“If you’re a New Yorker with heart or breathing issues, be careful when you’re outdoors today,” he said in a message posted to Twitter.
“Smoke from wildfires in Canada is impacting our city’s air, so an Air Quality Health Advisory has been issued. Try to limit your outdoor activities today to the absolute necessities.”
The Yankees Triple-A affiliate and the New York Mets’ affiliate in Syracuse both postponed their games on Tuesday night “due to poor air quality and an abundance of caution for potential health concerns.”

However, for the Yankees and White Sox, play continued.
Chicago earned its fourth straight victory, a season-high this year, with a 3-2 win over the Yankees. Lucas Giolito pitched the first six innings, striking out seven, walking three, and throwing 100 pitches before being removed without allowing a hit.
Closer Liam Hendriks also earned his first save since returning from his battle with cancer.
“It almost helps me when the stadium gets that loud,” Hendriks said after the game. “I think I tend to get a little better after that. For whatever reason, that helped me a little bit, lock in a little bit more than I had initially.”
“Unhealthy” smoke blanketed most of the northeast on Tuesday night, according to Fox Weather. Residents in New York even reported smelling a burning scent similar to a campfire.

Libs of TikTok creator Chaya Raichik has decided to host an alternative book event to one that’s reportedly occurring this weekend in New York City.
Writing on Twitter, Raichik shared with followers, “NY AG Letitia James is hosting a drag story hour for kids this Sunday.”
So, added Raichik, “I decided to host my own story hour down the street from hers! Protect your kids and come hear an important message at an event that’s actually family friendly.“

She included a snapshot of a poster from the Letitia James event.
That notice announces in part, “Families with children are invited to join Attorney General James, drag storytellers, and city and state elected leaders.”
The event, according to the notice, is being held on Sunday, March 19, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Eleven local legislators’ names are listed on the document.
Here is what Raichik shared on Twitter on Wednesday evening with her followers.
Chaya Raichik will be holding her alternative book event on Sunday as well.
Together with Trent Talbot, CEO of Brave Books, which publishes books for children, she’s holding a story hour for families and children also in New York City during the same time period as the drag queen story event.
In her tweet, she includes a poster of herself saying, “NYC is hosting drag story hour … but why don’t you come to a REAL story hour.”
Raichik also wrote on Twitter earlier, “Our tax dollars are being used by government officials to fund and promote the sexualization of our children.”
As Fox News Digital reported on Tuesday, March 14, James recently announced she and other state elected officials will be hosting a drag event geared toward families.
On her Instagram page, James shared a flier for the event, titled “Drag Story Hour NYC with New York State Attorney General Letitia James.”
The flier indicated that the politician would like children to attend the event.
In the caption for the Instagram post, James declared, “My office is proud to host a Drag Story Hour read-a-thon on Sunday.”
The ad also featured several groups that are co-sponsoring the event put on by drag group “Drag Story Hour NYC” and the lawmaker.
Among them are The Pride Center of Staten Island, Queens Public Library, Brooklyn Public Library and Destination Tomorrow, a grassroots LGBTQ organization in the Bronx.

Raichik, who founded the anti-woke social media account Libs of TikTok, is publishing her first children’s book this month.
“I wanted to [take] the next step, which is to give parents and children a tool that they can use to actually be able to spot predatory behavior,” she said in a statement shared earlier with Fox News Digital.
Raichik’s illustrated children’s book, “No More Secrets: The Candy Cavern,” tells the story of Rose, a second-grade lamb.
Raichik has spent the past few years tweeting TikTok videos of liberals talking about gender identity and other cultural issues. She has nearly two million followers on the platform.

A New York middle school is apologizing after serving students with a meal on the first day of Black History Month that was deemed to be culturally insensitive.
Administrators at Nyack Middle School say that the hot lunch menu was changed by the vendor without their knowledge on February 1st, the first day of Black History Month, to include chicken and waffles with a watermelon dessert which the school’s principal called an “unfortunate situation”, The Journal News reported.
“We are extremely disappointed by this regrettable situation and apologize to the entire Nyack community for the cultural insensitivity displayed by our food service provider,” Nyack Middle School Principal David Johnson said in a statement.
“I am disappointed that Aramark would serve items that differed from the published monthly menu. Especially items that reinforce negative stereotypes concerning the African-American Community.”
Multiple families expressed outrage over the menu selection including parent Lindsay Siegel who told the outlet that it was “really disappointing” the change wasn’t caught.
Aramark, the school district’s food vendor, issued a statement on the matter on Thursday.
PROFESSOR LAMBASTS WHITE PEOPLE AS ‘DAMAGING’ WHO NEED TO DISMANTLE THEIR ‘WHITENESS’
“While our menu was not intended as a cultural meal, we acknowledge that the timing was inappropriate, and our team should have been more thoughtful in its service,” the Aramark statement said. “This was a mistake and does not represent the values of our company, and we are committed to doing better in the future.”
Aramark also said that it will be partnering with the school to provide sensitivity training for employees who work at the school to make sure their actions align with the district’s “vision and commitment to equity-driven work.”
“We believe this will provide a good learning opportunity to deepen understanding on the impact of systemic biases and negative stereotypes concerning the African-American Community,” the statement said.
Aramark has found itself in similar situations in years past including an incident in 2011 where UC California-Irvine, an Aramark client, was criticized for serving a “MLH Holiday Special” that featured chicken and waffles.
Fox News Digital reached out to Nyack Middle School and Aramark but did not immediately receive a response.

Liberal New York Times columnist Paul Krugman continued to defend President Biden at every turn, arguing on Monday that “Bidenomics” has benefited American workers.
Krugman, who was mocked last month for claiming the economy is experiencing a “Biden boom” despite record 40-year-high inflation, penned a column published Monday headlined, “Has Bidenomics Been Good for Workers?”
“President Biden has presided over a huge employment boom that, according to Friday’s employment report, is still in progress. That’s simply a fact, although stating it (like pointing out that we aren’t in a recession at the moment) guarantees that I will receive a truckload of hate mail,” he wrote. “By Biden’s second Labor Day, the U.S. economy had added substantially more jobs on his watch than it did in the Trump administration’s first 37 months — that is, before Covid-19 put the economy into a temporary coma.”
NEW YORK TIMES’ PAUL KRUGMAN MOCKED FOR CLAIMING THE ECONOMY IS EXPERIENCING A ‘BIDEN BOOM’
Krugman then admitted “many of the job gains under Biden probably reflected a natural recovery from lockdowns, and in general it’s easier to add many jobs when you start, as Biden did, from a position of depressed employment,” but quickly reverted to fawning over the president.
“On the other hand, employment has recovered faster than almost anyone expected,” Krugman wrote before noting that inflation is an issue but “Bidenomics has been good for American workers, whether they know it or not.”
Krugman has denied that America is in a recession, despite the GDP experiencing two consecutive quarters of negative growth, the technical definition of a recession. The liberal columnist – who also recently defended Biden’s school loan handout – believes “two big conceptual issues” are essential when evaluating the effects of rising employment on Americans.
“First, do we look at the wages of only fully employed workers, or do we consider the gains to Americans who would have been unemployed or working reduced hours but for the Biden boom? Second,” he continued. “How much of the inflation the U.S. economy has suffered since Biden took office do we attribute to the boom, as opposed to things that would have happened whatever his policies had been?”
The liberal Times columnist answered his own questions by declaring, “If we include wage gains due to the rising share of Americans with jobs and the rising number of hours for those employed, the Biden boom has, unambiguously, been good for workers’ incomes… the biggest gains went to the lowest-paid workers. So the Biden boom didn’t just increase overall incomes; it reduced inequality.”
Krugman also dismissed workers who already had jobs when Biden took office losing purchasing power because of inflation because the issues “have a lot to do with global forces and little, if anything, to do with U.S. policy.”
NEW YORK TIMES COLUMN SUGGESTS DEMS SAVED ‘CIVILIZATION’ WITH CLIMATE PROVISIONS IN SPENDING BILL
“So, yes, the Biden boom has been good for workers. More Americans — a lot more Americans — got jobs, and while those who were already employed suffered a decline in real wages, that decline reflected events in global food and energy markets, not U.S. policy,” he wrote.
Krugman concluded the glowing piece by noting that an extended period of high unemployment could erase whatever gains American labor had made during the Biden administration but reminded readers that he approves of the president’s to-date economic plan.
“So far, Bidenomics has indeed helped workers,” he wrote.

Lifeguards in New York saved a man who collapsed during a recent beach bike ride and had an undetectable pulse for 12 minutes.
David Plotkin, 50, joined “Fox & Friends Weekend” on Sunday morning to discuss what he could recall from his fall on July 30 of this year.
“It was a beautiful Saturday morning,” Plotkin said during a televised interview.
“I went for my routine beach bike ride with a good friend of mine,” he continued. “It’s about an hour long, but it was anything but an hour-long bike ride.”
POOLS CLOSE AS LIFEGUARD SHORTAGE HITS AMERICAN CITIES THIS SUMMER
Plotkin said he and his friends had biked for 30 minutes and had already passed their turnaround point when he collapsed not far from a lifeguard station in Atlantic Beach.
“I was about 20 yards east of the lifeguard stand,” Plotkin told “Fox & Friends Weekend.”
“I collapsed right in front of a retired police officer. He and his wife saw me down and ran over.”
Plotkin said he wasn’t breathing — so the couple started CPR while bystanders got the lifeguard team.
Two lifeguards responded to the scene, according to Plotkin.
“They sprung into action and brought the defibrillators over, and they were working on me for 30 minutes,” Plotkin said.
RETIRED DOCTOR RETURNS TO LIFEGUARDING AFTER 50 YEARS: ‘ONE OF THE BEST JOBS’
John Ryan Jr., the lead lifeguard in the town of East Hampton, also joined “Fox & Friends Weekend” to discuss the lifesaving measures his team took to save Plotkin.
The lifeguards delivered two shocks from the defibrillator and continued CPR on Plotkin for 12 minutes.
Plotkin didn’t have a readable pulse at the time, Ryan confirmed.
“Throughout the whole time, after those first two shocks, [the defibrillator] analyzed and said, ‘No shock advised,’” Ryan recalled.
“And at that point, the heart was not beating, so we continued CPR throughout the whole process, [and waited] to transport him off to a waiting ambulance.”
PHILLY GRANDMA, AGE 70, IS BACK ON LIFEGUARD DUTY AMID SHORTAGE ‘TO HELP THE COMMUNITY’
Ryan said Plotkin’s collapse is a “very rare” situation in the world of lifeguarding.
In his own words, Ryan said, “We know that once the heart stops, our job is to continue to do the CPR to continue to circulate oxygen in the blood to the organs in hopes that we can get him to the waiting ambulance, and then they can hopefully administer some drugs that might put the heart into fibrillation and then shock it to get a regular heartbeat.”
Ryan noted that his lifeguards swapped in and out to do two minutes of CPR and compressions.
He said 15 lifeguards eventually arrived at the scene and helped with compressions and ventilations.
“It takes a lot out of you,” Ryan said.
“Your adrenalin is pumping and you’re doing CPR and we have switch in and out because if you’re not doing effective CPR, the blood flow is not circulating as it should be.”
