For just $1.6M, you can own Babe Ruth's Manhattan apartment
If you're reading this, you're probably a baseball fan.
If it just so happens you're also looking for a two-bedroom apartment in Manhattan's Upper West Side, we may have the perfect apartment for you.
That is, if you have a cool $1.6 million to drop.
Up for sale is Babe Ruth's old apartment, in which he lived while playing for the New York Yankees.
According to Ruth's son, Julia, the Great Bambino loved to entertain, via the New York Post:
“My fondest memories [of the apartment] are of me and Father listening to ‘The Green Hornet’ on the radio and looking out to Riverside Park,’’ the Yankees legend’s daughter, Julia Ruth Stevens, 98, told The Post from her home in Conway, New Hampshire.
“Mom and Dad loved to entertain there,’’ Stevens said. “We had a maid and cook, and Dad would always invite Yankees who had been traded and were in town with other teams. He knew they wanted a home-cooked meal [while on the road].”
Sure, $1.6M is a lot, but with a roommate, you can offset that cost a bit. Right?
