1935. Seaman Ave, Inwood. Babe Ruth poses with his 1926 Nash.

On a summer evening in 1935, Julia Straus, a 58 year old resident of 72 Seaman Avenue, walked into the path of Babe’s car near the intersection of Seaman Avenue and Cummings St. and was hit. The ballplayer quickly loaded Straus in his car and drove her to the nearby Jewish Memorial Hospital for treatment. While at the hospital, Babe phoned police to report the accident.

Straus suffered a bruised right leg and possible brain concussion. The police said that Ruth had been driving with a green light and had no chance to stop. They placed the fault of the accident on Mrs. Straus and took no action against the ballplayer. NYT. August 7, 1935.
