** ADVANCE FOR WEEKEND EDITIONS, JULY 5-6 -- FILE -- ** In this June 13, 1948 file photo, home run king Babe Ruth bows as he acknowledges the cheers of thousands of fans who saw his No. 3 retired permanently by the Yankees during the observance of the 25th anniversary of the opening of Yankee Stadium in New York. From Ruth and Gehrig to DiMaggio and Mantle, to Jackson and Jeter, Yankee history is crowded with dynamic players flourishing in a ballpark whose roots date back to a bitter rivalry that was spiced with spite.
