I thought it was longer ago than that, or was there another one found?
I made a special point of watching the show on TV that showed the film. It was pretty bad film, taken fron under a grandstand roof, so you got underexposed and overexposed images at the same time. It was hard to tell it was even Ruth, but whoever it was waved an arm (or bat) and appeared to point somewhere. But it wasn't clear if he pointed toward the outfield or the dugout, or waved for a hot dog.
On the whole, it was nearly as bad a bit of tv as Al Capones vault.
