Andy Warhol’s brother was there. @ClintHurdle13 @kengfunk @gbgary54 @TonyBrunoShow @OliverioPa67919  Andy Warhol’s older brother, Paul Warhola, was an eyewitness to Babe Ruth's final three career home runs at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh on May 25, 1935. Paul, who sold newspapers outside the stadium as a kid, occasionally brought a young, sports-disinterested Andy Warhol to the games. Key Connections & Details: •The Historic Game: On May 25, 1935, playing for the Boston Braves, 40-year-old Babe Ruth hit three home runs against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The final blast cleared the right-field roof, marking the 714th and last home run of his career. •The Witness: Paul Warhola was 12 years old at the game and even got Ruth's autograph on a scorecard earlier that week. He famously recalled Ruth pointing to a group of older men right before hitting that historic, roof-clearing final home run. •Andy Warhol's Reaction: While Paul loved baseball, Andy had zero interest in sports. However, both brothers grew up to be artists. Decades later, Andy Warhol’s profound fascination with American celebrity and fame culture led him to create works revolving around legendary athletes, including a 1961 series of prints featuring baseball icon Roger Maris.
