Bill Jenkinson, author of the book The Year Babe Ruth Hit 104 Home Runs is one of baseball’s most renown historians. He sat in on our recent podcast with Tim Reid and Storm Glenn.

Keith Raley and I then talked with Bill about the Babe and his feats.

Keith’s mention of someone who had a copy of Bill’s second book (shown here) is a reference to Bob Simmons who resides in St. Inigoes, Maryland and is a visitor to Buzzy’s Country Store.

Bob was present at Griffith Stadium when Mickey Mantle hit what is purported to be the second longest home run ever hit (565 feet.) Bob notes that he was sitting in the left field bleachers and remembers the ball zooming by not far from where he was sitting when it left the ball park. For a listing of longest home runs (click here.)

I played a Babe tune the other day but today let’s check out the Mick.
