1. What was the name of the diner in Boston where Helen worked?


2. Who did Ruth say was the best manager he ever played for?


3. Who was the first batter Ruth ever faced in a Major League game? (this player is also known for three other incidents/accomplishments)


4. The infamous game; June 23,1917. Ruth walked the very Washington batter he faced, and Ruth disagreed with Brick Owens' zone. Ruth was tossed and Ernie Shore came in to get the perfect game after the runner was thrown out trying to steal. So the question: who was that first batter, and who was the catcher who threw him out?

5. What was the name of the team Ruth almost left the Sox for during the 1918 season?

I'm on a first name basis with her; pardon me :dance

Lander's is CORRECT !!

Tris never managed Babe, although Babe is responsible for Tris getting the job in the first place ;)

McCarthy is wrong GiambiJuice
