Babe Ruth set his records on hot dogs and beer...not steroids like some athletes do now.
Babe was a Shooter!
- Thread starter THE PILGRIM
- Start date
The B&W photo makes it difficult to determine whether the Babe had to wade through mud or blood to retrieve his prize, but there may have been enough gatorhide left to make him a new pair of shoes anyway...
When I was a kid I wrote to his widow asking if she had anything with his signature that she could send me...She wrote back and enclosed a cancelled $50 check he had written, so she could go to the store for him (my guess is the shopping list included some beer)...The check was made out to cash, and she had endorsed it on the back, so I had both signatures...Much later in life I traded that check for a Sig P220...I really wish I had that check back...
