If he had made a gesture like that, well, anybody who knows me knows that Ruth would have ended up on his ***. The legend didn't get started until later." In 1942, Root and Ruth discussed the "called shot." Root asked, "You never pointed out to center field before you hit that ball off me, did you?" Ruth admitted, "I know I didn't, but it made a h*** of a story, didn't it?"
