I believe it was WGN TV in Chicago that had a program of some old found video of Ruth making a gesture that could be interpreted that way but was probably more of a point towards the pitcher. If I recall, it was almost a sweeping motion or flick of his arm. There had been considerable bench jockeying going on at the time and he may have been reacting to that. I personally believe it wasn't anything like an arm extended pointing of his index finger towards the fence. Root would have knocked him on his behind with a high inside pitch if he did imho.
( I wonder if youtube has the video?)
