Babe Ruth is Always A Good Choice

Whenever I'm too busy with work I can always count on "On This Day in Baseball History" to help me with a quick post.

On this day in 1919 Babe Ruth hit the first of his 16 career grand slams.  The store display below shows his reaction after that homer.  Or is he calling his shot at Wrigley Field in the World Series

Ruth also pitched a complete game and moved his record to 3-0 with the win.  George Sisler was 3-for-4 off of Ruth.

How many hot dogs did he eat that day?

  1. None from when he was an active player. We used to bring about $30 each to card shows in the 1970s and Ruth or Gehrig cards were always at least $50 so I never got one.
