What could have been the greatest finish ever Babe Ruth. He was close, but not close enough.
Everyone knows that Ted Williams last HR was hit in his last major league AB. Did you know that Babe Ruth's last three HRs were in the same game? In that game, he went 4 for 4 with 3 HRs. So his last hit was an HR, just like Williams. Unlike Williams, Ruth played 5 more games, going hitless, before retiring in the middle of the season. His last AB, he struck out, then injured his knee in the field. He never played again.
