@mindfuqq ...if you met Babe Ruth at 12 you would probably remember it
-
Great story by a very interesting man! I could listen to him tell stories all day! Thank you!
-
great story, i remember reading about judge landis becoming the 1st baseball commissioner after the black sox scandal of 1919. landis was granted the authority to clean baseball up, which had a bad reputation. the white sox wasn't the only team gambling, barnstorming in the off season, etc. according to the landis story he butted heads with ruth on the barnstorming and suspended him at the beginning of the 1922 season. i got the notion the barnstorming stopped after the 1921 season.

I'm 25 can't remember things from when i was 12 i wonder how this man does.

Read "The Year Babe Ruth Hit 104 Home Runs". Transcending. Hard to believe, but the reality of Ruth superceeds that of his myth.

Wow, what a sharp memory and such a wonderful story! Thanks for posting.

He could recall a lot. When he was very young, his parents had an outhouse. It was his job to take the "chamber pot" out to the backyard and empty it into the outhouse.
He was so short that he could barely keep it off the ground and it of course would
splash around a bit.....not a fun job. The old man had many stories from his youth, some I was able to get on tape.

Thanks, he was still with it right until the end which was only 3 months later.

Thanks,
He was a high school teacher for the majority of his working life...baseball coach for a few years. His grandfather came from the area near Whitby in Northern England. They made the crossing in 1892.

Thank you. After he passed a writer in The Scranton Times wrote a story about his meeting with Babe Ruth. A woman wrote to the editor and said she heard the same story many times. She was the niece of the other boy (Billy) who was there. My Dad would get frustrated because people thought he was making the whole story up because he had no proof.

Thanks, for the info. My dad was a big Yankees fan and coached the High School baseball team for a few years....before I was born
