Sign Up Now!Was he actually in a coma? At one point he was supposedly in a coma then he was home with his family.The RRS thread about this video is glorious.
Yes according to Ernie Shores Wiki page "On June 23, 1917, against the Washington Senators, Ruth started the game, walking the first batter, Ray Morgan. As newspaper accounts of the time relate, the short-fused Ruth then engaged in a heated argument with apparently equally short-fused home plate umpire Brick Owens. Owens tossed Ruth out of the game, and the even more enraged Ruth then slugged the umpire a glancing blow before being escorted off the field by a policeman; the catcher, Pinch Thomas, was also ejected. Shore was brought in to pitch, coming in with very few warmup pitches. With a new pitcher and catcher, runner Morgan tried to steal and was thrown out, after which Shore then proceeded to retire the remaining 26 Senators without allowing a baserunner, earning a 4–0 Red Sox win. For many years the game was listed in record books as a "perfect game", though now, officially, it is scored as a combined no-hitter. Following the game, Ruth paid a $100 fine, was suspended for ten games, and issued a public apology for his behavior."
I have no idea. I guess he was at the hospital, but it seems the details from some people were, at minimum, exaggerated.Was he actually in a coma? At one point he was supposedly in a coma then he was home with his family.
Yet, Butgers is way out recruiting Scotty, the Prince of Red Times.Buttgers Program summed up in one video clip
Could tell as soon as he put his hands up that he had no idea what he was doing.
