Ruth asked the clubhouse man to go out and find the ball he hit for no 600. The guy came back with a kid and the kid gave Ruth the ball he had caught. Ruth gave the kid an autographed ball.

5 minutes latter another kid came into the clubhouse with a ball saying the same as the first kid.

Ruth did the same as the first.

Gehrig BTW hit one in his at bat after Ruth.

you can find the story in the Sporting News Archieves
