• Connecticut Yankee - anthology.

  This missionary knight's name was La Cote Male Taile, and he said that this castle was the abode of Morgan le Fay, sister of King Arthur, and wife of King Uriens,monarch of a realm about as big as the District of Columbia—you could stand in the middle of it and throw bricks into the next kingdom. “Kings” and “Kingdoms”were as thick in Britain as they had been in little Palestine in Joshua's time, when people had to sleep with their knees pulled up because they couldn't stretch outwithout a passp...

In 1961, for the first time, American League teams played 162 games. Frick, a friend of Ruth's, said that if therecord was broken after 1...

• Babe Ruth's "Called Shot".

  When Ruth, the second New York batter in the fifth inning, came to the plate, Wrigley Field was roaring. “They called me ‘big belly’ and ‘baboon,’” Ruth recalled,according to the book Great Moments in American Sports by Jerry Brondfield. The New York Times said of the Chicago fans, “It seems decidedly unhealthy for anyone to taunt the great man Ruth too much, and very soon the crowd was to learn its lesson.” During the at bat, Ruth mouthed off to the Chicago players in thedugout as they and...

With one run in and one out, smart baserunning by Mantle robbedPittsburgh of a double play and allowed pinch-runner Gil McDougald to score. The bottom of the ninth brought the Forbes faithful to its feet and Mazeroski to the plate. A steady but not spectacular hitter, the 24-year-old West Virginian hadearned more of a reputation for his sparkling fielding. Years later a noted statistician gave Maz...

Ruth wrote the boy atelegram and promised to hit a home run for him in that day’s game. Ruth made good on his promise with not only one, but three homers. And even at the height offame and for...

• Gehrig Bids Farewell.

  “We want Lou! We want Lou!” the crowd chanted. The emcee looked over to Gehrig. Gehrig slowly shook his head from side to side. Workers began removing thesound equipment. Gehrig headed for the dugout but then turned around. McCarthy said something to him, which the New York Times lip-read as, “Come on, Lou, just rap out another.” Gehrig held up his hand to get the crowd's attention, swallowed hard, and forced a smile. Fiddling with his cap and scratching at the turf with his cleats, he spo...

A noted pool shark and gambler, he frequented South Bend's less savory establishments and kept hours that would haveearned any other player a swift dismissal from the team. In an era when gambling and college football seemed congenial bedfellows, Gipp often served as the teambookie—for wagers on Notre Dame games. Accused by Rockne of lacking interest in the 1920 Notre Dame-Army clash, Gipp reportedly replied, “You're wrongthere,” according to Wake Up th...
