Visit Luzerne County recently presented The Luzerne Foundation with a framed photo collage of the recent unveiling of a new Babe Ruth historical marker in Kirby Park. The marker commemorates the 650-ft. home run that Ruth hit at Artillery Park on October 12, 1926, and was erected to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the home run and this year’s Babe Ruth Sultan of Swat Home Run Derby. It stands near the main softball field at Kirby Bark, near where the home run ball landed and where Babe Ruth derby is held.The marker was a collaborative project between Visit Luzerne County, the City of Wilkes-Barre, the The Luzerne Foundation and the Luzerne County Sports Hall of Fame.
