Pandemonium broke out in the crowd, and when Ruth lumbered
to rightfield for the top of the ninth, he doffed his cap
and smartly saluted the fans. His record 60th homer won the
game 4-2, and when he caught Walter Johnson's drive to end
the game, Ruth
was mobbed by fans who chased him and slapped his back as he
made his way to the dugout. The party swept into the
clubhouse, where, according to biographer Robert W.
Creamer, Ruth bellowed, "Sixty, count 'em, 60! Let
some other son of a bitch match
that!" |
