Reagan was born only 16 years after Babe Ruth, and was broadcasting Cubs games (remotely, from Iowa) when the Babe played for the Braves against the Cubs five times in May 1935.
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 …
