Gate of Heaven opened as a Catholic cemetery in 1917 about 25 miles north of the city, and Babe Ruth was buried here in 1948 under an epitaph written by Cardinal Francis Spellman. Visitors leave baseballs, bats and caps on the grave year round, and it is rarely bare. The cemetery has its own Metro-North platform, Mount Pleasant, served by a handful of trains a week.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
