Great story! Yes, the called shot was amplified for cementing ruth's great dominance and magical heroics. I am fortunate to have a relative that has long sinced passed away in the early 90's, johnny mize, who is a hall of famer that shared many great stories with my father and other relatives and friends. He said there was no comparable player to ruth, not even close. He did say that a healthy mantle would have been interesting to see! Many people forget about ruth's still existing pitching records! This story about ruth's called shot has always been one of the greatest sports stories ever.
