Charlie Root’s Lifetime Pass

Charlie Root was the Chicago Cub pitcher, who in the 3rd inning of the 3rd game of the 1932 World Series vs. the Yankees, gave up the infamous “Called Shot” home run to Babe Ruth. It was that home run that made The Babe a true legend. Ruth and others claimed he pointed to centerfield as a prediction of where he was going to put Root’s next pitch.

Many of the Cubs say that Ruth never pointed but was merely gesturing towards pitcher, Root.
