The Legend of Babe Ruth
On April 27, 1947, the NewYork Yankees hosted the first Babe Ruth Day to honor the ailing baseball star, who had terminal throat cancer. As he rose to give a speech for the 58,339 fans in the stadium, Ruth’s condition caused him to have a coughing fit. With the thunderous cheers from the stands encouraging him to continue, he lovingly spoke to the thousands of people who had followed his career from his early years as a free-spirited Baltimore school kid to the world-renowned baseball legend he became. Even legends have to start somewhere, and Ruth began his baseball career in the minor league Baltimore Orioles, where his teammates gave him the nickname “Babe.” He was soon acquired by the Boston Red Sox, and he helped them win the World Series in 1916 and 1918. The following year, he was traded to the Yankees. His popularity in the Big Apple allowed the Yankees to move from a shared ballpark to one of their own in the Bronx, which was aptly known as “The House That Ruth Built.” Even through the 1919 World Series gambling debacle, which cast doubt over the sport’s future, the fans’ attention was still centered on the Sultan of Swat and what he would do next. The New York Times reported that as “home runs began to scale off his bat in droves, crowds jammed ballparks in every city in which he appeared.” All those home runs resulted in his record-breaking year in 1927, when he hit 60 over- the-fence home runs in a single season. While his home run record was eventually broken in 1961, the continued celebration of Babe Ruth Day keeps his love for the game and unmatched ability alive. To quote the classic baseball film “The Sandlot,” “Heroes get remembered, but legends never die.” In the Great Bambino’s case, the legend of his baseball career has survived for over a century and will continue to do so for decades to come.
The Sultan of Swat! The King of Crash! The Colossus of Clout! The Great Bambino!
A Fresh Smile in 2 Visits The Lumineers Difference
Veneers are an excellent option for people who have structurally sound teeth but are looking for a cosmetic upgrade. They can perform a number of corrective tasks, including fixing uneven lengths, gaps between teeth, discoloration, and slightly misaligned teeth. Today, patients have more options than ever before when it comes to choosing a veneer that’s right for them. In many cases, a proprietary type of veneer known as Lumineers is the most convenient and comfortable option. Lumineers are an ultrathin type of veneer that requires much less preparatory work to place. Patients don’t have to endure any shots, drilling, or temporary veneers like they do with traditional veneers, making the experience much more convenient and comfortable for patients looking to improve their smiles.
where an impression of your teeth is taken. That impression travels to a Lumineers-authorized laboratory. At the lab, custom-fitted veneers are created based on your needs and desired smile. From there, they are sent back to the dentist, who places them during your second visit. Placement involves a patient trying on the Lumineers to ensure the fit, appearance, and alignment is optimal. Once tested, the dentist gently etches your teeth to prepare them for placement — the amount of enamel removed is such that you won’t feel a thing. After placement, your bite is assessed again to guarantee the fit is perfect and that you won’t chip any veneers in the course of daily life. In addition to Lumineers, Fabey Dental offers traditional porcelain and composite veneers. If you want to explore your options further, call us today to set up a consultation.
