On this day in New York Yankees history, legendary slugger Babe Ruth did the impossible by calling his shot in the World Series.

Game three of the 1932 of the World Series is one that included one of baseball’s greatest and most controversial moments.

Many believe that Babe Ruth, when facing Chicago Cubs’ Charlie Root in the 5th inning, pointed towards centerfield to “call” his home run.
