It’s a great story, but anyone, including Gehrig, reading a script written by someone else doesn't convince me. Wanting to perpetuate the myth was good for ratings. Charlie Root said in an interview that if he thought Ruth was calling his shot, he would have put the ball in in his ear, which I tend to believe. Like I said, great story, but this is no smoking gun, IMO.
Almost more interesting (to me anyways) is the setting for Lou’s story. Many have claimed that he and Babe were spiteful towards each other during that period, but i don’t go fishing with people I’m spiteful of.
