In April 1947, the most famous and, arguably, most beloved ballplayer of all-time was honored at Yankee Stadium on “Babe Ruth Day.” Sixty-thousand fans filled The House That Ruth Built to pay tribute to a player who, even then, had already transcended the sport and become not merely a national icon, but an international star — a man whose eye-popping numbers (714 career home runs, more than 2,800 hits, a .342 lifetime batting average, fer chrissake!) and larger-then-life personality and appetites captivated grown-ups and kids, alike.
Here, on the 65th anniversary of that April day when baseball stadiums everywhere stopped play and a nation listened to a broadcast of the heartfelt ceremony in the Bronx, LIFE.com presents rare pictures by Ralph Morse — including many that were never published in LIFE — from Babe Ruth Day, as well as from the Babe’s last public appearance a year later, in June 1948, mere months before he died.
