Wasn't there a story about a prank they pulled on one of their team mates. I am trying to go by memory, so this may be trouble.
The story goes they had it all planned that they took one of their team mates over to a house, and the plan was a husband, or boyfriend, or something, arrived at the house and grabbed a gun, Babe yelled to the team mate to run, which he did and soon after he got out of the house, the guy inside fired a couple of shots. This team mate didn't stop until he got back to the hotel.
In the meantime, Babe drove back to the hotel, got into bed and continued the prank, pretending he was shot. And that was all I remember. I believe I read it on a Babe Ruth thread on Baseball fever site.
