Today I Found Out
That Time a 17 Year Old Girl Struck Out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig Back to Back (2017x215)
Date de diffusion: Sept 05, 2017
If you happen to like our videos and→’s even more impressive about that was neither Ruth nor Gehrig managed to even get the bat on the ball when they swung. Ruth swung and missed twice before taking a called third strike. Gehrig swung and missed three times, striking out on just three pitches. Unfortunately for her, what she got for her efforts was to be promptly banned from Major and Minor league baseball by Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis.
