Hmm. I don't think Lefty fucking Grove could freeze Babe Ruth with a fastball. So a healthy dose of skepticism. And while I'd be entirely willing to believe that Ruth struck out for money or laughs, not Gehrig. So a bit of realism on that end. Maybe whoever in the article makes the point that anything is possible (the first time through) if you throw junk was right. Strange story. These things happen. (Although -- not often twice ... note this was made possible by Hubbell's screwball, so if Mitchell had a slurve or something Ruth had never seen before, maybe.) Hmm.
