new footage of Babe Ruth batting and in the field at Yankee Stadium discovered
 

Thanks for sharing this.

Maybe using the shot of the outfield wall, some folks here can help answer some of these questions:
"But just about everything else is uncertain: the opponent, the day and year of the game, even the circumstances."

KO with the research:

Fantastic footage! Thank you for the heads-up.

I love that flag pole in the middle of deep center-field. No padding on it either. Does anybody know when the practice of throwing the ball "around the horn" started? After the strike-out, the catcher appears to throw the ball back to the pitcher (of course, we can't tell if there are runners on base). I realize both Ruth and Gehrig were pull hitters, but that third baseman is way off the line. One last observation......the catcher was taller then the umpire and every time a pitch was made, he practically stood-up before the ball arrived. No way could that umpire see the plate, I would have argued too.

Lovely Day...

Wow... that footage is pretty damn clear, thanks to digital technology!:cool:

Great stuff! Thanks Jeff.
