Hadn’t seen a batter jump in like that!

It was funny when there was a hit and you’d tell the batter to ‘run to first,’ and he’d start towards third base- and I’d then tell him ‘run to the other first base.’ 😀

Babe Ruth watching his team play in the stands after getting suspended for 6 games for barnstorming, 1921

The barnstorming rule in which Ruth was suspended was removed by July 1922, but forced players on a World Series team to obtain the consent of the club president and then gain the permission of the commissioner before joining a tour.
New York Yankees great Babe Ruth was suspended for the first six weeks of the 1922 season after disobeying a major league rule against off season barnstorming. Though not as serious as Braun's 50 game suspension for alleged steroid use, Ruth's was every bit as newsworthy in 1921.

There would be 3,000 iPhones in his face!
