Only one sports writer wrote an article, in his evening edition newspaper, that Babe Ruth called his shot. That writer was Joe Williams. A well respected sports writer of his time, and the other sport writers followed suit the next day, after reading Williams article, and the legend grew from there. His article sort of created the legend. Here is a photo of Joe Williams interviewing Ruth, just a couple of months prior to the "called shot".
