Ruth's 1925 Bellyache
It's now common knowledge of course that Ruth famous bellyache was not caused by eating too many hot dogs, but probably a venereal disease or maybe alcohol poisoning of some type. Has anyone gone back and confirmed this through medical records? I know people have gotten access to Gehrig's medicals and poured over them in recent years. Is there any objective evidence one way or another as to what Ruth actually had wrong medically?
