Peter Spaeth....and I'm sure David McDonald....both have the correct answer.

Ten years ago in Cooperstown on HOF weekend, Buck O'Neill was "holding court" with a bunch of us. And, one
of his stories was....the one time Satchel Paige pitched to Babe Ruth was in a barnstorming game (after Ruth
had retired from BB). Ruth hit a 500 foot HR off Paige. Paige was so awestruck by this, that he walked over to
home plate, as Ruth was rounding the bases, and shook Ruth's hand.

However, it has been said that this event has been contradicted in Paige's biography. Paige comments that his
one regret in BB is "that he never pitched to Babe Ruth".

Who should we believe ?

I choose to believe Buck O'Neill.
