Imagine a hitter getting on base in nearly half of his at-bats. That would be Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox who still holds the career record for the highest on-base percentage with a .4817. Ranking No. 2 behind Williams is Babe Ruth with a .4739 career on-base percentage.

The Yankees retired Babe Ruth’s No. 3 on this date in 1948 in what would be his final appearance at Yankee Stadium.

The jersey he wore during that ceremony is now part of one of the Museum’s most iconic exhibits. https://ow.ly/c6Ez50ZbqR8
