This was discovered in the archives of central library, their media division.

so did he do it or not

[Back2Brent]

When I dug through the papers that covered the game, i think he did...and he did the thing where he held up his hands, saying what the pitch count was "Thats one...Thats two...". Usually the historians say the pitch count bit was mistaken for Ruth calling his shot. The newspaper in the film reports that many people could not get in the game because of the crowd and missed the top of the first. The paper claims that he did both...so I think he did call his shot.

@LacDenis How is this proof?

[screwdabrewcrew]

@LacDenis Nothing came out about Babe Ruth calling his shot until 10 days later. You can asj Charlie Root's wife or daughter about it. His daughter is still alive. She even talked to him on his dethbed and he said You know I was a pretty good pitcher and had some great seasons with the Cubs . It just sucks that I'll be best remembered or something that never even happened.

He was really saying one more strike, but since it was Babe Ruth and he hit a HR on the next pitch everyone thought he was pointing and he went with it. Why not? It's a great story.

[mrberstein]

I love old news reels they were/are awesome!!!!!

[1EPowerUp]

i say he did just about anyting BESIDES calling his shot

[LacDenis]

I can prove he called his shot. Simple history. First, the papers indicate that he both called the count and then pointed his finger. Second, I am a Babe Ruth nut. I have watched many videos of him playing baseball. I have NEVER seen him point like that before. I don't care what the pitcher claims to quote Babe Ruth as saying. Just ask his daughter and wife. They say he never got over that one pitch. Sounds like a lot of motivation to lie and say it wasn't a called shot. First called shot ever.
