HOF 1972

After I won 21 games, I said, "This isn't that hard actually. I can do this every year for maybe 10, 15 years." To tell you the truth I thought I was going to be in the Hall of Fame. I really thought that. You feel so strong, so powerful walking down the street. You know you can throw a ball harder than any man in the world, or certainly the top five. Sandy Koufax knocked all of us out of the box on that one, so we would think, "I'm the second or third hardest thrower in the game."

Eddie Stanky was our manager. I said, "Eddie, I'd like to play more. You need power and I can help." But he said, "Moose, it's my prerogative." I'd never heard that word, so I had to accept it. I still don't know what it means.

Ruth was being ridden by the Cubs the entire series and he would ride them right back. At the time, I did think Babe was pointing to the bleachers, but (shortstop) Frank Crosetti told me no, he put up one finger to indicate he had another strike coming. Babe never denied that he was pointing to the stands. Still it was quite extraordinary to see him point, then hit the very next pitch out of the ballpark. With my salary and a half-share in the World Series, it amounted to about $10,000. That was the depths of the Depression. I thought I was the richest man in the world and I think I damn near was.

Recalling the 1932 World Series and Babe Ruth's controversial "called shot" home run
