In honor of my beloved Texas Rangers winning the World Series (#takemehigher), this week’s issue focuses on one of the biggest mysteries in baseball history. Babe Ruth Calling His Shot.
Based on Babe’s own response in the interview, I would agree he didn’t predict where he would hit the ball. However, I also agree that his fans likely opted for the “better story” because that’s just how good he was!
Definitely! The Babe knew how to play a crowd, so it isn't too far fetched to have him quietly confirm that he didn't call his shot, but very publicly let the reporters fill in the blanks!
