The Gate of Heaven Cemetery, approximately north of New York City, was established in 1917 at 10 West Stevens Ave. in Hawthorne, Westchester County, New York, as a Roman Catholic burial site. Among its famous residents is baseball player Babe Ruth, whose grave has an epitaph by Cardinal Francis Spellman and is almost always adorned by a large number of baseballs, bats, and caps. Adjacent to the Garden Mausoleum is a small train station of the Metro North Railroad Harlem Division named Mount Pleasant where 4 trains stop daily, 2 northbound and 2 southbound. Several baseball players are buried here. ==Notable interments== *Robert Abplanalp (1922–2003), American inventor of the aerosol spray valve *Fred Allen (1894–1956), actor and comedian *Thomas Breslin (194–1992) Executive Vice President, National Union of Hospital and Health Care Employees 1199C *Heywood Broun (1888–1939), journalist *Charles A.
