Charlie Root was one of the fiercest competitors the game ever knew . . . his cigar-chomping, no-nonsense visage was one of the most intimidating tools in his baseball arsenal. Of Ruth's alleged called shot Root said, "If he pointed to the bleachers, I would have put one in his ear and knocked him on his ass." Two days before his death he told his daughter, "I gave my life to baseball, and I'll only be remembered for something that never happened."
Above cobbled together from Wikipedia and elsewhere. The judge saw a gesture 78 years ago when a 12 year old boy. I like Root's version better.
