Did You Know

 Did you know, Babe Ruth would put cold cabbage leaves under his wool cap to stay cool during games?

 

* Babe Ruth known as The Sultan of Swat played twenty-two seasons and was considered by many the best baseball player of all time.

News to me - though it obviously worked.

Perhaps remove the hat to be cooler? Maybe not allowed.

I am reminded of a recent photo of a young man watching a sports game while wearing sunglasses and shading his eyes with his hand, while wearing a baseball cap backwards on his head.

That Babe Ruth story was a question on a game show here in the UK recently - so I did know. It was a multiple choice question, and I remember the other two options seeming much more plausible!

One of those weird stories that turns out to be true.
However, the story from years ago that Garth Brooks kept a live squirrel under his hat I bet is still very false.

The Babe was quite a character.
