Retire Babe Ruth's Number Throughout Major League Baseball

For his contributions to our national pastime, his contributions to children all over the world, for his humanitarian works and for his love for his fans everywhere: Babe Ruth single-handedly saved the game of baseball with his mighty bat, his charismatic personality and his inherent sense of fair play.

As an ambassador for the game Babe Ruth made it possible for baseball to become the international game it is today. Babe was not deterred when it was not possible for minorities to participate in Major League Baseball. Babe spoke up on behalf of these fine men. He barnstormed with them and his actions and words on their behalf has not gone unnoticed by baseball historians.

Please help us to achieve this tribute for an American icon, George Herman "Babe" Ruth.

Thank You!
