This Day in History: 1942-07-19
Before the scheduled baseball game between the Mahwah Athletic Club and Stony Point at the Mahwah Athletic Field, the crowd was thrilled by an appearance by Babe Ruth. The famous slugger entertained the crowd by hitting a few of his famous homerun balls and signing autographs. In the game, Mahwah defeated the visitors 4-0 in what was described as “one of the finest games played so far this year.” (Bristow)
