    A penny saved is a penny earned! I’m just glad all he got was stomach cramps!

    Don’t know who “the Babe” was? Babe Ruth! His home run record stood until Hank Aaron matched it in 1974. Greatest hitter of baseball’s most magnificent era. You might want to check out an interesting song call “the Babe” by Danny O’keefe. Only O’keefe can intertwine a personal tale with a rememberance of the great hitter.
