| THE BABE |
i'm obsessed by the eternal question, did babe ruth call his second home run in game 3 of the 1932 world series? after doing extensive research - wikipedia and a chicago sun-times article - i have concluded that no one including ruth can say for sure.
... mmmm ... breakfast
a complete reading of both articles will show that i am right. Former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens (who was at the game) in a "60 minutes" interview says it happened. ruth himself 10 years after the event (1942) said it didn't. my take is that with so much stuff going through his brain in that moment he wouldn't recall a specific gesture or he was just yankin', root's (the pitcher) chain.
