With all these football cards I own, you'd think I would know some history of the NFL. I don't, and enjoyed learning about Charlie Berry today between breaks in the Indy500 and NASCAR. Copied this from Wiki:
"Berry is also remembered for a collision with Babe Ruth which sent the slugger flying into the air. In 1931, during a game between the New York Yankees and the Red Sox, Ruth collided with Berry at home plate while trying to score on a sacrifice fly. Ruth was carried off the field at Fenway Park and taken to a hospital, and missed two weeks of play."
Charles is also a part of those hated umpire cards in the 1955 Bowman baseball set.
