A few Sleepy Eye die-hard baseball fans gathered at Sleepy Eye Baseball Park on Oct. 16th to celebrate the 96th anniversary of the famous Babe Ruth visit to Sleepy Eye. Within a few minutes of this picture being snapped, the men found out “The Boy” in the photo, Len Youngman, had passed away at the age of 107. (See KARE 11 Land of 10,000 stories “The Babe, the boy and the ball” video below) Len’s funeral will be held October 27th. Plans are in place for the Emmy that Boyd Huppert won for the story which is now located in the Sleepy Eye Museum will be delivered in time for Len’s visitation.
