BABE RUTH'S (1932 WS) CALLED HOME RUN SHOT' RARE VIDEO & COMMENTARY 

Amen. Also you got that from the sandlot but I won't blame you it's a cool sentence.

+Ivan Dominguez good thing is you know your the history sir lol

+Wilbenst Victor .-. really?

Remember that kid, and you'll never go wrong. Follow your heart.

You're killing me Smoltz, I mean Smalls

Reading isn't good for a ballplayer. Not good for his eyes. If my eyes went bad even a little bit I couldn't hit home runs. So I gave up reading. Babe Ruth I always tell this to my parents when I have a reading project.

I'm not sure if this quote was in response to Ty Cobb or not, but there was a brief time when Cobb and Ruth had a verbal spar over the value of their respective hitting philosophies. Ty Cobb said he could he many home runs if that was his aim and for two weeks he changed his stroke to hit home runs, actually going on a home run tear at that time (not sure the number he hit in that short span). I don't know which statement came first, Ruth's about hitting singles or Cobb's about hitting home runs?

@Angry Grizzly interesting. I hadn't heard the Ruth quote, only the Cobb one. Both were great enough to do an they pleased, I suppose.

@Angry Grizzly I guess Ty Cobb forgot that he played in the Dead Ball Era - when 12 Home Runs in a season was a monumental accomplishment.

@@nuwavedave Cobb played in both eras and placed greater value on getting base hits, i.e., hitting singles, doubles and triples, advancing the runners, than he did swinging away and trying to hit a HR every 12-15 or so plate appearances.

Words James Harden takes too literally smh.

Pretty Jay Well, The Babe was not one for NOT embellishing a story.... after the fact. It seemed he was pointing to the dug out, with 2 fingers, telling them that he has 2 strikes. Cuz he wasn't pointing to the outfield, he was pointing off to the left, towards the dugout.

I don't think the crowd shots shown were from the actual event. Just a conglomeration of other footage to supplement the story.

Babe Ruth's the best no 🧢

@@walterjames7042 if you were big and fat like Ruth then you had an unfair advantage. Imagine your grandmother throwing you a baseball and hit a home run every time. Boxer sonny Liston was bigger and stronger and was beating up smaller guys until he met Ali who was big and strong like him.

@@walterjames7042 all 🧢 matter of fact all 🎓... Ruth wouldn't last in the modern era. He was great for back then... JR > BR

he was on the very highest level. no explanation needed.

Mantle same in that regard. The Mick said sometimes he would see three baseballs coming out of the pitcher's hand, and aim for the ball in the middle. 😉

Natural talent. He literally could get out of bed and hit a home run, he was that good.

So the Big Guy could never hit anything but 2 homers after drinking and seeing double? Never hit two doubles, or two singles? Never struck out even once, only hit 2 homers and maybe two hard smash groundouts? Really??? Much of what people said about him on his production after a drinking night for the next day's game is just ridiculous exaggeration. He did have the strikeout (as a batter) record of 1,330 for a long time. Until Mantle broke it, and then some! Not taking anything away from his actual statistics, but these wild exaggerations with no basis for it are just weird. He was good enough to do what he did, and I'm sure his drinking to excess until the wee hours or staying out late to party did not help his game the next day! Maybe he could only play a couple of later innings, giviing him more time to sober up, or just pinch-hit while Huggins (Mgr.) saw he wasn't ready to start, keeping him out of the game, until maybe needed later, again to give his body more time to heal.

If he faced the pitchers of today he would have been a bit better than average hitter but that's it.

Definitely

Sorry buddy but Babe wouldn’t even be able to land a hit against today’s pitchers lol. The average speed back then has been estimated to be around 70mph with the hardest slingers running in the low 80s. I love the golden era of ball but…that’s just the facts.

@@travisvanalst4698 Nice try pal. Walter Johnson was reportedly measured at 99.7 MPH at the Army's Aberdeen Proving Grounds, where they could measure the speed of bullets. Bob Feller, whose career began in 1935, was measured at 107.6 MPH. The facts are that in that era pitchers were expected to throw complete games, so they had to pace themselves. And with the cavernous ball parks back then it was harder to hit home runs, so they didn't need to throw mid 90s all the time. You are basically saying that pitchers have genetically evolved to being faster. That is silly.

@@thewolfdoctor761You’re on crack if you think Bob Feller threw 107. I agree Ruth would still be great tho

Yeah. Me neither. This could be a Mandela effect.

You are 100% correct.

Garbage players. All that money spent on their training, all the time put in to train and they couldn't make a bump on Babes ass. Babe done what he done hung over, with a belly full of hotdogs and bad case of the crabs. Effortless for him.

are u a indians fan

@Rasyay P Is he wrong though?

MUFC id rather watch paint dry than watch soccer

Nothing has changed since ? They have netting all the way around the infield ( some going all the way down each line to the outfield ) now to protect the fans. A little girl got hit in the head by a screaming line drive & has been permanently effected by it. All ball parks will have this extra netting now. It has effected Albert Almora the Cubs centerfielder ( hit that line drive ) has not played well since it happened.

Chicago Shawn possibly clouds duh

@Duane Lee Russell Babe is standing in the batter's box in the sunshine, preparing to hit. He is in the sunshine casting a shadow. As he approaches home plate after the homerun, the plate is well in the shadow of the grandstands though most of the field is in sunshine. It is not about the clouds in the sky, if there were any. Duh

Chicago Shawn apparently you don't live on earth.

+Chicago Shawn I'm thinking this was footage from a movie theater newsreel. It was just bits and pieces of Babe Ruth on film spliced together. It's a wonder there wasn't a few seconds of Red Grange in their running for a touchdown.

Jeff Liss so true.

He didn't play against black or hispanic players so how is he the greatest? They had rules from stopping talent so how is he the best? Man wouldn't survive a day in todays league. He was good for his time. Also we don't know what type of person he is neither do you we dont know what any athlete is really like.

NAKIB: Again, Read the book by Bill Jenkinson, The Year Babe Ruth Hit 104 Home Runs. Jenkinson researched for 28 years every single question you could ask about Ruth and yes, comparing him to players of color etc. By the way, you are wrong. Babe played against the best of the old Negro League players dozens of times and his batting average was higher and he hit more home runs per at bat than he did playing in the majors. Ruth played against the Negro league's when he would barnstorm directly after the season was over. In 1938, when Ruth was retired and 43 years old, he hit a home run to dead center field against the great Satchel Paige. Satchel scratched his head and could not say a word. Now, as for not playing against blacks in the majors, READ THE BOOK. All of the stats are in there. Baseball is different than basketball and football. The only one Babe had to be concerned about was the pitcher. Since blacks came in to the major leagues, their have been some very good pitchers, though statistically they have not been as good as pitchers of non-color. This is not opinion, it is fact. Bob Gibson would be an exception, as would reliever, Mariano Rivera. With the exception of Bob Gibson, the best pitchers of color were from Cuba and Babe did very well against them hitting dozens of homers over 500 feet. You need to perform your due diligence and read Jenkinsons book. He took 28 years researching. Get the point now?

Bob Brooks damn, I’m defiantly checking that book out. Babe Ruth was just an overall great player.

YourFriendlyKiller: Let me know when you are done with the book. It is mindbending!

Bob Brooks lol now that’s how you shut someone up. Well done. I’m gonna buy that book now

😅😅🍾 🍻👍

Truth

No one.

He called the shot, fruitcake.

And then the Braves blew a 3-1 lead the next year

Probably at Walmart...The Babe was the only player that could show up a pitcher and have it become folklore... Today's pitcher would have hit him with a 100mph fastball

Pinocchio Baller becouse its funning.....

Because it looks funny

@Franky Padilla Babe went from being the best Pitcher in MLB to being its greatest Hitter - and all you can say is, "Duhhh, he ran funny!" Do you have any clue how ignorant you look?

Franky Padilla Got eem!

As Jim Bouton wrote in Ball Four (paraphrasing), 'if running was so important, MLB teams would recruit players from track teams.'

7 people agree. i’d say that there are at least a couple hundred better moments and most of them are championship wins, not some hoax homerun

@@altqq1755 It was the World Series. Can it get any bigger than that? Do you know how difficult it is to hit a baseball? This man did it against a high level pitcher after predicting he would do it. Think a little deeper.

Yes.

I mean maybe

Some sports writers got together and based on Babes home runs per at bats. If he had not spent four years pitching, his lifetime home run count would have been 850 lifetime.!!!

He also holds the record for the most innings pitched, 14.

Me.

IMO even if he was pointing to Chicago's dugout, he was probably saying "watch this dinger!" *Proceeds to belt a home run*
