Thanks! I’ve been trying to find where I heard that.
By today’s standards, Babe wasn’t all that big and strong. It must’ve been the bat.
Another little tidbit about Ruth. In 1920 Columbia University conducted some sort of test on the physical reaction capabilities of 500 male volunteers. All the males were in their physical primes, mostly in their twenties. Ruth was 25 at the time. Guess who came in no. 1 with the best reactions to a variety of tests?
