I once met Babe Ruth in person. I lived in NYC, at Amsterdam Ave and 83rd St. One Saturday morning in mid, late may of 1948 I was walking down 83rd St to play in Riverside Park. A skinny 10 yr old, I see about ten kids about 3/4 of the way down the street, very near Riverside Dr. They were all hooping,hollering and waving up at a couple with their heads out the window of an expensive, red brick apt house across the street, on the uptown side. I look up and see Babe Ruth and his wife, he being on my side. Even at that age I knew who Babe Ruth was. Then he saw me out of the corner of his eye and turned his head to the left and looked right at me,..he being maybe 3 or 4 floors up. I was the only one standing there, immediately his face lit up in a huge, ear-to=ear grin, and then he lifted his right hand and waved at me.
I am now 80 yrs and 4 months old but have never forgotten that moment. To it was worth a thousand autographs. No one can say anything negative about that man to me,..ever !!!
