Running baseball thread part VIII

Who did Babe Ruth hit his last home run against?

 

Abso-friggin'-lutely. Looked like a young(er) Ripken, really. Just as tall and lanky as the Iron Man, and a lot smoother. That was a fun play to watch.

 

Sorry I meant which team. Because didn't the Dodgers allow Aaron's record breaker and could possibly allow Bonds' tying homer as well.

 

Bush played for the Pirates that year. He gave up the last two homers (of three Ruth hit that day) on May 25, 1935. Those were Nos. 713 and 714.

No. 714 was the first to ever clear the right-field grandstand at Forbes Field.

Here's a pretty good P-G story on the day: http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/06130/688769-63.stm

What happened?

 

Frenchie was hit in the bottom of the 11th.

 

I imagine so. I seriously doubt the Astros were trying to hit someone in the 11th, with one guy already on. That's stupid baseball. I'm not sure if even Ozzie would do that.


Yes, he probably would.
