Thanks to Alex Rodriguez, Julia Ruth Stevens was able to visit the house that her father built one more time.

Stevens, Babe Ruth's daughter, helped present the 2007 Babe Ruth Home Run Award -- given to the Major League leader in home runs each year -- to Rodriguez at a pregame ceremony on Saturday.

"I wasn't sure I was ever going to see Yankee Stadium again," Stevens said. "I'm thrilled to be here, to where daddy called his 'second home.'

"He loved coming here every single day to play ball."

It is Rodriguez's third such award, and the last time he received it was in 2003 -- the last time Stevens went to the ballpark. This time, Rodriguez was honored for hitting 54 home runs last season.

Ruth's grandson, Tom Stevens, and two great-grandchildren, Brent and Amanda Stevens, also aided in presenting the award to A-Rod.

Ruth's 714 career home runs are third most in baseball history -- behind Barry Bonds (762) and Hank Aaron (755). Rodriguez's 532 homers rank 15th on the all-time list.
