On April 8, 1974, Babe Ruth's record of home runs (714) was broken.
Ladies and Gentlemen, a toast to Hank!

5. Saw that game.

And did you know that Babe Ruth's home run total and Joe Friday's badge number were the same? Coincidence? Or something much more malevolent?

Cue theme from Twilight Zone and fade to black...

:toast: to The Hammer

6. I had a dealer friend once who used to laugh

about Joe Friday's badge number being the same number stamped on a tab of qualudes.

Anyway, my favorite part of that home run were the two fans who ran with him and congratulated him (Hank had been recieving death threats and I hear they frightened him at first). That would never happen today.
