Babe Ruth’s Final Resting Place
My father in law who passed in November is buried in the Gates of Heaven Cemetery in Valhalla NY which is also the final resting place of Babe and Claire Ruth. He always told the story of being a 10 year old boy and going to Babe’s funeral in 1948. After visiting with my father in law we went to find the Babe’s burial site which was in the next section over. Babe still gets a lot of visitors who leave all sorts of mementos. Bats, balls, hot dogs, cigars, beer, Baby Ruth bars and more are left for him. It was a beautiful day and sun was shining down on the Babe.
