Was that last one the first to ever clear the right field roof at Forbes Field, or is that mere legend?
Legend has it the first homer in went into the lower deck, the second into the upper deck and the third and his last ever over the roof. Nice to way to exit the game.

The long ball was not a prevalent and the great bambino hit more home runs in some seasons than entire teams. He also did not juice unless you consider hot sauce on his hot dog!
Best baseball player ever....when you start to argue remember his first 4.5 years he was a pitcher, and had in that time two 20 win seasons, finished his career with 94 wins vs 46 defeats .671 winning pct., with a lifetime era of 2.28, and 3-0 in world series play as a pitcher, led the league with a 1.75 era one year , lead the league with 9 shutouts, and 35 complete games another year, then of course went on to lead the league 12 times in Home runs, and many other offensive league leading stats in his playing days, nobody can match it.
