The first year, 1947.

Yes, I was aware that April 27, 1947 was his day.

But, is just me or does it seem like MLB does not publicize April 27th that much as Babe Ruth Day?

I must have mis-read your post which states:

"Wonder why MLB does not honor #3.... on an annual basis by having a Babe Ruth Day.....?

Not only is Babe Ruth Day celebrated at all Major League Ball Parks, but every Minor League Park, every College Baseball Field, HS fields and International fields through out the world.

...even NASA & USSR astronauts celebrated Babe Ruth Day in orbit and on Space Station.
