Little known fact: Babe Ruth’s last at bat was in Hartford.
On September 30, 1945, George Herman "Babe" Ruth Jr. played in a charity game at Bulkeley Stadium as a member of the Savitt Gems. The Gems were a semi-pro club sponsored by Bill Savitt who first created the team in 1930 as part of the Greater Hartford Twilight Baseball League. At 50 years old, Ruth entered the game as a pinch-hitter and grounded out to the opposing pitcher. The ballgame was Babe Ruth's final appearance of his playing career. Ruth passed away less than 3 years later at the age of 53.
