That's Neat! Here's an actual listing of the Apartment with more Pics (reading the article, it sounds like its a little different than from when Ruth lived there though)

The monthly maintenance fee is almost $4300 a month...
Over & above the mortgage payment

I guess that makes me feel better about paying the fees for my HOA and the fees for my other HOA today.

Boy, first the owner of the Skenes 1/1 card declines to watch a game with her, and now this! Hopefully she'll recover...

If she needs a hug I’m available.

It includes property taxes, which is likely a big chunk of that. Still too rich for my blood.

It might be fun to own the Babe's old place. If I got it, I suppose I'd spend the first month or two going over, under, inside and behind everything in the place looking for anything Babe Ruth related. And that third bedroom? Definitely a Ruth museum called "The House That Ruth Built".

Would be cool to locate a few photos Babe had on the walls and put them back up.

I was all in, ready to put in a bid, even with the monthly co-op maintenance bill, until I saw the renovations. I wanted that beer cooler and photo of the Babe on the wall. Since they had been removed, I was out of the running!

This is not the apartment in question.
This is a larger apartment, in 110 Riverside Drive, that he lived in towards the end of his life. He was living there at his death in 1948.

The thing that caught my eye 1st is that for 2 mill you get 2.5 Completely Crappy Bathrooms -

Who still has a house these days that doesn't have at least 1 good shower?

Babe Ruth, apparently.

Looks like Dempsey and Ruth in the photo on the wall bottom right in the birthday cake shot. Ruth trained in Artie McGovern's gym, as did Dempsey. Here are the Babe and Artie sparring on the roof of the gym; part of a mid-1920s Mutoscope reel



Gehrig too
