Private George H. Ruth of 104th Field Artillery, N.Y. National Guard, May 28, 1924. They wanted to use him for a recruiting poster. At 6'2" he was too big for any ready-made uniform and the Guard had to make a special one for him. Whether he actually served is unknown.

On This Day in History June 2, 1935: Famed slugger Babe Ruth announces his retirement from Professional Baseball.
Ruth was traded to the Boston Braves with promises of future managerial opportunities and profit sharing from gate receipts. In reality the promises were hollow which were made worse by his conflicts with management and by his poor performance both on the field and at bat. Ruth would finish his last season with a .181 batting average with 6 homers and 12 RBI in 72 at-bats.
