Sportswriter Mike O’Hara joins Fox Across America With Jimmy Failla to shed light on some of things he learned while conducting interviews for the new Fox Nation documentary, “Did Babe Ruth Call His Shot?”.
“It was kind of a mixed bag like there were people that you would think would be die-hard in the Cubs’ backyard that were like yeah, no, I saw him do it. And then you know, there are people that kind of you know He really wasn’t pointing at the bleachers per se. He might have been pointing at a pitcher or the Cubs’ dugout. But I mean everybody kind of had their take and the thing is that the story kind of got Paul Bunyan’d, I mean like, over the course of time. It’s like not only did he point but he pointed to the exact row the exact seat and says it’s coming duck. You know and it’s amazing to see like how a fish story over the course of, you know, the American pastime can balloon into all the stuff that they say happened. And the poor guy, Charlie Root, who pitched the ball, you know, went to his grave saying, I’m famous for something that didn’t happen.”
