I have a buddy that plays this game a ton, but so do I. We both have Babe Ruth and we savagely compete about who can put up better numbers with some lady named Baby Ruth. He tells me, and he swears he's not lying, that there is a rare walk-up animation that you sometimes get with Ruth, where the camera starts off from behind his back when he is coming out of the dugout, and then he slowly walks to the plate, and actually points to right-centerfield, calling his shot, just like the legendary true story.
I have not gotten this animation and I think my buddy Jim the Flim is pulling my leg. Any of you Show vets ever seen this animation?
yeah for me that I recall only final inning and im the home team. I walked it off both times

Looks like around the 6:50 mark of this video Ruth comes up and has the animation.

I've never seen it, but I do know where Ruth hit his longest recorded home run.
During a barnstorming in Kingston, PA he hit a shot officially measured at 625 ft.
I live right by the place he hit it, and they have a monument where it landed.
The field is still there, and needless to say, it's almost unbelievable that a baseball can be hit that far. -
This has popped up for me also. I don’t think mashing X skips it as it is more akin to an Easter egg than a cut scene. I have never heard of anyone homering after it. In the famous video as Babe rounds the bases he makes some choice gestures and hand waiving to the Cubs bench. Would be awesome if this also occurred as an Easter egg also.

The video that poksey posted is great! The dude gets so excited, and definitely thinks he’s gettin a walk off, then when he immediately grounds out you can tell that he feels duped.

No disrespect. But clearly a tall tale. Monsters today with juiced balls and better bats veeeeeery rarely reach 500.

Absolute truth.
The historian who measured said it was closer to 650, but he didn't want his reputation tarnished.
Look it up. I didn't believe it myself until I researched it.Babe Ruth Battery Park Kingston (Or Wilkes-Barre) PA

I believe it. There's a trend in life itself, society itself, the most general terms, where you put down the achievements of people from the past to elevate your own, comparative, lack of achievements. Babe Ruth really did it, and we modern folks just need to accept that he was unbelievably good. Get it? Unbelievably good. But I believe it.
