I loved this footage.It is rare to see Babe Ruth choke up on the bat as he did in one of his at bats(he, like Rogers Hornsby,held the bat down at the knob even with two strikes,which was unusual back then). This was the Series that Ruth became the first hitter in World Series history to hit 3 homers in one game.Two of those blows traveled over 500 feet.Babe Ruth (for a 2nd time in the`28 Series) and Reggie Jackson are the only players to duplicate this feat.
@brianwells456comcast And now Albert Pujols.

@Luigi84289 The 1928 Series was much better.

At 1:10 why does Gehrig have a different color cap than Ruth?

@gtomark71 This is the best WS. Seven full games against the Yankees in their prime with a Red Birds victory.

@brianwells456comcast Adrian Beltre of the Texas Rangers just did it in the 2011 ALDS against Tampa Bay in game 4.

Cards were the only NL team to stop the Yankees during their first dynasty. Up until the 50's no NL team could except the Cards.
