Finally An Answer to My Question…What’s With Babe Ruth and the Bird?
I’m probably pretty sure someone has discussed this before so not breaking new ground here but I’ve never been able to figure out the context of the picture used on the e121 Babe Ruth “holding bird”. Never could find anything to explain. But last night was reading “The Big Fella” by Jane Leavy and came across this on page 105, mystery solved!
“Communications were still so low tech that fans living on the East Side of Manhattan persuaded Charles Farbizo, a neighborhood resident, to take his flock of carrier pigeons to the Polo Grounds and send ininng-by-inning dispatches from the four-game series between the Yankees and the Cleveland Indians that would decide the 1921 American League pennant. RUTH WAS PHOTOGRAPHED RELEASING ONE OF THE PIGEONS ON SEPTEMBER 26” Mystery solved, now I can get on with my life. Hope I’ve solved this life-long mystery for someone else!
