Babe Ruth got it done with hot dogs and beer. Not HGH or steroids.

Listen whether he did point or not the fact is that he said “I have 2 strikes” which basically means “Watch what happens now” and boom! Home run. That alone is pretty damned impressive

Doesn't matter Babe was the god of baseball and always shall be

Lou Gehrig said:"Can you imagine the nerve of that big ape?calling his shot and actually getting away with it?!"

He did call his shot with that two fingers reminder.

The Bambino Is Synonymous With Greatness.☺

He Called It.

The "SULTAN OF SWAT" !!! PERIOD .

The facts say he did.End of story.

There is video evidence of him pointing,and audio about it as well.The evidence says HE CALLED IT!

HULK SAYS RUTH IS BEST!

There Was No One To Babes Level,Not Even Cobb.Ruth #1

Woody English, a Cubs third baseman, insisted there was no called shot. “That day, Ruth and Gehrig each had homered,” English said later. “Ruth got up again, and it was funny. He had two strikes on him … The guys are yelling at him from the dugout, and he holds up two fingers. He said, ‘That’s only two strikes.’ But the press box was way back on top of Wrigley Field and to the people in the press, it looked like he pointed to center field. But he was looking right into our dugout and holding two fingers up.”

Why would the Babe lie about something like that? There’s no point he did it and took his word to his grave.

Ruth did it.Your jeaoulsy does not become you.

I am here after watching The Babe with John Goodman. 2020 now and it's still great!

Never let the truth stand in the way of a good story.

Babe called it, as only he could.

Either way he hit a home run and silenced the cubs dugout

Root's daughter is sad.

"When the legend becomes fact... print the legend"

Yeah,He Sure Did.

Even if that's the the case that's still damn legendary

The Babe is not a liar. He called it.

Yes he did,hes the Babe.

Ruth Called it. End of story.

He Pointed And Then He Did It.'Nuff Said.

He called that shot,now!

The facts say he called it.

He called the shot. Now you say it!!!!

Babe Herman telling the story and he got it wrong..1 pitch was a ball. The fact is Babe blasted a homer and Gehrig followed with a Homer.

I believe he did call the shot, but not in the dramatized fashion portrayed in movies, I believe that all things mentioned occurred during that at-bat, and whether or not he actually stopped and pointed to the centerfield fence and said he was going to hit a home run there is irrelevant. The facts are he was arguing and gesturing back and forth with Root and the Cubs bench during the at-bat, and holding up fingers indicating the strike count during the at-bat. The facts are also he hit a home run during the at-bat, and continued the verbal jousting while rounding the bases, which all indicates he more than likely told the Cubs verbally that he was going to knock the crap out of the ball, and he did. To me, that is calling a shot.

Dude, Babe called it. End of.

The legend states that he did.He even said he did.

Oh,he did.

we always seem to find something negative about all the greats. consider this if you were there and saw him point and hit it out the park. you would probably jump out of your seat. all the fans watching saying yep, he called it. that's the story, that's the legend. and I for one will always love a great story.

Ruth only admitted that he did do it, and the evidence shows this as well.

Legend has it he did call it so im going with that.

The video of him pointing shows both the pitcher Root and the catcher Hartnett have their back turned to Ruth so they couldn’t have seen the point towards Center Field.

Whether he did it or not, it’s a great lore of baseball.

My childhood is shattered! lol

You know, you read all the stories and see all the footage and videos and you realize that he may not have pointed to center field and said I'm going to hit it there, but his gestures and words, depending on which story you believe, indicate he did everything just short of that. Then the gestures he made as he rounded the bases dont subtract anything from the story either.

I'd pay big money to hear Ruth micd up talking trash lol

that will be up for debate for years to come.

ok,I'm just here to study for my wax museum

actually reporter joe williams wrote about the "called shot" the same day, he in fact was the only person to do so, but because his paper had wide circulation the story began to get repeated, which is probably why this guy is saying it happened 4 days later. ruth initially said he didn't do it but would later go along with it, he was definitely making gestures to the cubs dugout but he never pointed to the centerfield fence calling his shot. even ruth wasn't that much of a showboat.

did, or didn't happen. as a person who loved baseball growing up, i liked to believe he did. to a young kid, it's a magical feeling. i believed it as a kid. so have many before my time and will after.

Ruth definitely didn't call his shot...but I will always believe he did.

Ruth did not later admit anything. Just face facts. He called the shot.

Excellent debunking of the so-called "called shot".

I have the same paper too.. for year..

Babe and Lou were not liars.

no way he called that

PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TOLD WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR, AND NO AMOUNT OF EVIDENCE IS GOING TO CHANGE THAT.

If he pointed to centerfield predicting a home run on the following pitch to the awareness of Root or Hartnett, Ruth would have been on the ground in a cloud of dust after that pitch.

The evidence shows he did.

Babe Ruth was and is the greatest

I disagree I say he called it

Babe called the shot.

Some are saying that ruth pointing at the pitcher some are saying that ruth is pointing 2 fingers up because he got 2 strikes some are saying it doesnt matter if ruth really pointed at the centerfield bleachers on not but it matters for me

Lou Gehrig is on record saying that Babe called the shot.

Compromise... The Babe pointed to center... Of the dugout.

Babe ruth did say hes gonna hit the next one for a homer and he did. So in a sence he did called his shot. Maybe not point too the stands where hes gonna hit it but he did hit the homer so yes he called it

he basically did by saying it only takes one pitch to hit the dam thing and thats what he did.

I’m not sure if he did or did not but us was pretty funny that he said that’s only 2

The babe

He did

The count was 2-2 not 0-2. Mistake at 0:21.

either way, makes for a hell of a story

Centerfield bleachers in Wrigley in 1932? Nope. They weren't built until 1937. Other than that, this is the most accurate account that I have heard.

I bet he was just confident and mad so he said he was gonna get a hit but I don't think he expected a homerun

Not fair...most his records should not count...he was on beer and hotdogs..

Imagine being the pitcher, Charlie Root. If a batter -- any batter -- had the nerve to call their shot, the next pitch would be a high fast one towards the batter's head. Why give them anything close to hit? No pitcher in their right mind would give them anything good to hit

how old was babe ruth wen he died.44.91.OR.56.

Stay in denial, Brad, but you cannot alter the event which took place in 1932. Babe calling his shot.

Good player babe ruth

He took 2 strikes, then pointed. Your trolling is impressive.

I believe Gehrig

"He was more than a man but less than a God, sorta like Hercules. "Benny the Jet" Rodriguez.

I prefer a Hermaneutical approach to understanding Isaiah 53. as in George Herman "Babe" Ruth. BIG BAM THEORY: Babe Ruth, the Baseball Messiah, fulfilled Isaiah's chp 53 prophecy when he died at age 53 in 1948 the year the nation of Israel was born. Babe Ruth loved Decker hot dogs. Jehoshua Ben-Deker, was the "Son of Piercings" from 1 Kings 4 and Isaiah 53. "Jacob" Decker hot dogs ran for 100 years the entire 20th Century then mysteriously went out of business. 100+53 = 153 as in the 153 fish the Disciples of Yeshua pulled in on his last appearance to them before the Ascension. Also in 1948, the brand Crown Prince Kipper Snacks (fish purification snacks) was born. They are rent in two like the veil to the Holy of Holies was at Christ's death. They are smoked to hide YAHH appearing above the mercy seat atop the Ark of the Covenant. And they are high in Omega-3 (Father, Son, Holy Spirit). Try some at Yom Kippur or Pentecost. Yeshua is the Prince of Crowns. Caiaphas the High Priest and a small band of dancing/singing Levites at the palace of Pontius Pilate: "Damn him. Damn him. You ought to take a cross and hang him. Hang him from the highest tree!! Ben-Deker ain't Messiah to me. Do do do do do - de do de - doe doe doe. One more time! Do do do do do - de do de - doe doe doe." This song was later adapted as the theme song to the Decker Hot Dogs tv commerical circa 1960s or 1970s, sung by Roger Miller, lyrics adaptation by Johnny Rivers. "Decker is the D-G for me".By his Yankee pinstripes a nation was healed. All those Black Sox sheep had gone astray (throwing the 1919 World Series of Baseball), and the LORD laid upon the BABE (not in a manger, but who wanted to be manager) the iniquity of them all. If the BABE hadn't done among them the things which no one else had ever done, they would not have been guilty of sin. But as it is, they saw, and still they hated both the BABE and his "dad" (owner).

he didn't call it. calm down people.

I never questioned the "legend" story, but well, would youtube lie to us? Doesn't really matter, it's still a great story about a great man who was as human and flawed as they come, and a hero to so many. They don't make em like that any more, and that's a good thing. I'm not a sports fan largely because sports have been corrupted by the gross riches involved and the steroids. If anything I like the Olympics

LMAO he pointed Dugout? Irrelevant.

It's always easy to want to believe a myth like this one because often the myth is a lot more interesting that the truth but the simple fact is he didn't call that shot. I'd rather remember a legend based on truth rather than a lie. Some people though would prefer to not let the truth get in the way of a good story. Believe what you want but it never happened.

Really. Art rust was there and he did

Who cares? He pointed. Period, end of discussion. Next pitch, he hit it generally to where he pointed. Against the famous Wrigley wind. Period. End of discussion.

But I bet he coulda !

Yes,of course he did!

This is shameful. Lou Gehrig was on deck and was not particularly fond of Ruth at that time. If you recall, they had had a falling out. Nevertheless, Lou admitted that Ruth called the shot. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mM6RoLCV0NHYdoU.html

In 1942, during the making of The Pride of the Yankees, Babe Herman (who was at that time a teammate of Root with the minor league Hollywood Stars) was on the movie set as a double for both Ruth (who played himself in most scenes) and Gary Cooper (who played Lou Gehrig). Herman re-introduced Root and Ruth on set and the following exchange (later recounted by Herman to baseball historian Donald Honig) took place: Root: "You never pointed out to center field before you hit that ball off me, did you?" Ruth: "I know I didn't, but it made a hell of a story, didn't it?"

Club

BABE RUTH CALLED HIS SHOT AND HE HIT IT WHERE HE PREDACTED IT DON'T TRY TO DIS HIS GOOD NAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ruth and Gehrig did not tell lies.

Bull

Lou disagrees with you.

non of you are good like babe ruth. babe ruth is a godes i wish he was still alive for the yankees. by the way i am in the little league world series tornement i am japan

Hey,Brad,The facts do not say otherwise!Ruth called it,period!Your jealousy does not become you!Thumbs down!

I love how are these people are obsessed with 'the legend' lol.. accept the fact that it wasn't called

never seen a nose on a white person like that before
