There was recently a New Yorker article profiling retiring Supreme Court justice John Paul Stevens. How old is Stevens? Old enough that he was in attendance at that Cubs-Yankees WS game in 1932. He said he saw Ruth gesture to the outfield, but then misremembered where the ball was hit. Oops.

Here's the article online: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2...fa_fact_toobin.
