“The attacks of September 11th were intended to break our spirit. Instead we have emerged stronger and more unified. We feel renewed devotion to the principles of political, economic, and religious freedom, the rule of law and respect for human life. We are more determined than ever to live our lives in freedom.” –Rudolph Giuliani

“Speedy”: Delivering Babe Ruth to Yankee Stadium
Posted in Yankees Humor, Yankees Miscellaneous, Yankees Videos, tagged 1928, Babe Ruth, Comedy, Coney Island, George Herman Ruth, Harold 'Speedy' Swift, Harold Lloyd, Iron Horse, Lou Gehrig, New York City, New York Yankees, NYC, Speedy, Yankee Stadium on February 28, 2012| Leave a Comment »
Here’s a great clip from the 1928 film, “Speedy,” featuring George Herman Ruth. I’d like to call myself a movie buff, but I’m ashamed to say I never heard of this film before.
IMDB’s plot summary for the film:
“Speedy” loses his job as a soda-jerk, then spends the day with his girl at Coney Island. He then becomes a cab driver and delivers Babe Ruth to Yankee Stadium, where he stays to see the game. When the railroad tries to run the last horse-drawn trolley (operated by his girl’s grandfather) out of business, “Speedy” organizes the neighborhood oldtimers to thwart their scheme.
If you pay close attention, you can see Lou Gehrig walking as Ruth get sout of the cab.
The Hunt for 3,000 Hits

I was at Yankee Stadium on Thursday hoping to see Jeter hit #3,000, but things didn’t quite go as planned. After leading off the game with a double, Jeter wouldn’t reach base for the rest of the night. It was the best crowd I’ve seen all year, and the camera’s were flashing on every pitch. There were some terrific Derek Jeter chants in the stadium that night as well.

I attended the last game of the Yankees/Red Sox series on June 9th at Yankee Stadium. After waiting at the ballpark during the rain delay for over three hours, I took my seat in Section 203 and saw Bald Vinny lead the Bleacher Creatures in roll call for the very first time. It was an experience.
