2016 MiLB Draft Round 5
Baseball History: The called Shot.
September 28, 1932: Did Babe Ruth predict his home run in Game 3 of the 1932 World Series? “No one knows if he was pointing at the dugout or at the flagpole,” said Neil Lanctot, author of three books on baseball, including Campy: The Two Lives of Roy Campanella. We know that Ruth didn’t majestically point to the fence, as seen in a pair of campy Hollywood biopics. We also know that Ruth played along with the Chicago fans’ and players’ heckling, holding up one finger after the first called strike and two after the second. “It only takes one to hit it,” he is reported to have said.
