We are heartbroken to hear of the passing of long-time volunteer and member of our museum family - Jerry Markey. Jerry had a very special way of engaging visitors of all ages with his incredible stories. The Birthplace is often one of the last stops for large tour groups, and at that time they're running on fumes, but Jerry would have them completely enthralled, following each story up with "and just one more" and the guests, no matter how tired, were always happy to listen. And, you couldn’t help but love that great New York accent.

Jerry excelled at baseball, was inducted into the Manhattan College Hall of Fame, was named New York's Collegiate Player of the Year, and finished his college career with a 21-3 record. Around this time, Jerry was part of a group that would head to Ebbett’s Field and help warm-up the Dodgers. Jerry would throw warm-up pitches to Jackie Robinson. Afterwards, the guys would head in for lunch, where each player would pick up a brown bag lunch with their number on it. One day, Jackie asked Jerry if he brought a lunch, Jerry said no and Jackie tossed him the bag - #42. Jerry always lamented that he threw the bag away!

Jerry's passion for baseball, his sense of humor, and generous personality will be fondly remembered by all. Jerry shared his February 6th birthday with another baseball great - Babe Ruth. Babe is certainly in good company.

We are honored to celebrate and protect the legacy of this larger than life American icon. Here's to you, Babe! 🥂(February 6, 1895-August 16, 1948)
