Babe Ruth - The Called Shot

[spokmage]

And if it was really at Wrigley, the fans would have thrown the ball back, no? hahaha..

[billga2010]

While this movie is a little over the top , let's not forget the real Babe Ruth saved baseball .

[tomitstube]

lol, i'd heard of this one, never saw it.  just like the description, the sick kid was part of something else in real life, they really went over board glamorizing something that never happened.

the cubs pitcher charlie root confronted babe in later years, told him it never happened, babe told him. "yeah but it made one hell of as story didn't it?"

[DisappearingBoy88]

Biggest Hollywood embellishment ever. Every second of this scene is complete bullshit.

[lmaoitschad]

@DisappearingBoy88 what do you mean? in the description it does say that it is a movie...

[SwingshiftCat]

"If he'd pointed to the bleachers, I would have put one in his ear and knocked him on his ass." -Charlie Root, Cubs pitcher on 10/1/32. Anybody who knows anything about Root knows that Ruth calling the shot was a myth started by sportswriter Joe William's headline the next day, in which he used billiards terminology; RUTH CALLS SHOT AS HE PUTS HOME RUN NO. 2 IN SIDE POCKET. The legend took off from there, fed by fans and Ruth himself.

With all the historical inaccuracies and delusions in this movie, I'm surprised they didn't make it a game-winning home run at Yankee Stadium.

[vincentbutt45]

Wow that's not even babe Ruth! It's some other fat dude! FAKE!

[oysterjoe]

@vincentbutt45 That's not just "some other fat guy". It's the great William Bendix born in New York City

If you've a brain you might watch the movie "Lifeboat" directed by Hitchcock [another fat guy]. They have it right here on youtube.

[BobNeubauer]

So fake

[masterraymondtorres]

Oh course this isn't the way the called shot was, but he definitely called the shot.

[grimm1949]

this is so fake

[MrBobbyjoe124]

@grimm1949 its from a movie but the called shot is true

[RockToYourOwnMelody]

@trixtamario Yeah I realize that! What kind of idiot wouldn't? I thought it was funny what the annoncer said. Get a life and stop being a hater on youtube!

*Gunshot* *POW* *POW* How do you even make friends with an attitude like that? Jerk.

[RockToYourOwnMelody]

"And there's the booing, which means Babe is up to bat." Hahaha!

[trixtamario]

@RockToYourOwnMelody they were away smart ass

[baseballbaby27n21]

Personally i thought mickey mantle was better :))) but Babe's still the great bambino



[ilovemesomechicken]

[DoesNotExist305]

@ilovemesomechicken 714 Home runs.

[ilovemesomechicken]

@DoesNotExist305 Early death

[Pigsonfiredotorg]

@MrLoutheboss Thats the best book ever  Rocks

[ScootyPuffSr7]

Wow this is REALLY cornball.

[JENDALL714]

I seem to recall in the 90's Paul O'neil calling his shot, I think he hit two for a little boy in the hospital!

[ThiefInLaw]

@JENDALL714 It seems I remember one of them being an in-the-park, and as you know, those don't really count.

[MrLoutheboss]

real shot read the book Babe and Me. The book is by Dan Gutman. Tells you the right answer. Great book.

[RondoTown]

@MrLoutheboss IVE READ THE BOOK AND I THINK IT IS RIGHT

[BradWest96]

May be just a movie, but this is quite heartwarming.

[MrNightmareman121]

this is a remake

[EPR89]

@MrNightmareman121 Orly?

[6615tom1]

The only other home run that was a good as this was Robert Redford in the NATURAL

[ElEvilTaco]

"the Chicago fans are cheering there heads off!" Babe played for the New York yankees wtf

[bbv001]

this is stupid

[therockboy00]

he is my uncle and if you heard of crazy leg hirch well he is also related to me!

[vccstudents]

In actuality, from what I've read, Ruth pointed at Cubs' pitcher Charlie Root because they had exchanged a few unpleasantries.

[savmic3669]

@hallplaya5224 Of course he did!

[erichizz09]

i dont believe ti happend like this

[vccstudents]

@erichizz09 Of course, it didn't happen this way! Hollywood loves to change things!

[rocker5987]

i wanna see real footage real proof

[1915fas]

Great scene! The previous scene where he tells Johnny his doc is 'big league' and then makes the promise to hit the home run is great too. But I really like where he gets fired by the Braves when he can't play as well as manage and the fans tell him he should sue. 'Sue baseball? That would be like suing the church!'

[L4DXPERT]

only 3,000 wow i thought more would respect the great bambino

[firstdance2000]

You people are brilliant..Why not just show Redford and tell us he was really the Babe...geeze.

[hallplaya5224]

i believe he called it in real life
