Babe Ruth's 711th career home run was hit May 21, 1935 at Wrigley Field, so fans back in Des Moines would have heard it called by Reagan. Ruth would homer in only one more game after this, a 3-HR barrage vs the Pirates on May 25.https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN193505210.shtml …

I ate breakfast with Joe D. Years ago in the Riviera casino in Vegas years ago. Full disclosure, he was at a different table from me.
