I know Charlie Root's daughter in law.. She's told me on many occasions that it was NOT a "Called Shot" it was merely a finger gesture, nothing more.

Well, then - that settles it. I was going to suggest that we ask Albert.

A person sort of has to wonder though...how much more famous is Charlie Root because of this? If anyone mentions the 1932 WS and Babe Ruth, what's the next thing you think of? Usually it's Charlie Root and the "called shot".
