Pitchers Need Hot Weather to Iron Out for Ruth Rivalry
In New York on April 23 the rain kept Giants and Yankees from action as Babe Ruth and George Kelly shared home run talk. Kelly, tying Ruth at four, shows a wrist hitter style and steady power, while Ruth remains the era’s best all around slugger. Nick Altrock of the Senators adds comic relief, still earning a solid salary while his pitching days fade.
