It is a short argument, and Pat Walsh dares anyone to disagree with him: The New York Yankees’ pinstripe uniform is the best in all of sports, and it was worn by the greatest baseball player that ever lived, Babe Ruth.

The disagreements are few, especially each Feb. 6 when Walsh dons that famous No. 3 and gives a birthday party in honor of the Bambino at the tavern his family has owned for 29 years.

What makes the whole affair so unusual is that Walsh’s Corner Cocktail is a long, long way from the five boroughs. In fact, it is in a strip mall in south Kansas City, Mo., and a vast majority of his customers count themselves as Royals fans.

Yankee fandom stretches the world over

Ruth was the greatest American sports icon bar none. In a world that lacked the technology and communications of today's world, he was the most famous person in it, to the point that the Japanese did indeed yell that as they were charging American positions.
