NY Post: Babe Homered With Girls, Too (RR)

In other breaking news… Lindbergh landed in Paris.

“Liquor, women, partying and sex were always present . . . and where George Herman Ruth was always at the top of his game,” writes Harvey Frommer, whose book hits stores in November.

Ruth routinely held wild parties jammed with young beauties in hotels on the road. During one bacchanalian bash, Frommer says, “Seizing the moment, savoring the time, perhaps a bit tipsy, the Babe climbed atop a piano and bellowed at the women, ‘OK, girls, anyone who does not want to get [bleep]ed now can leave!”

NY Post: Babe Homered With Girls, Too

BALTIMORE -- While George Herman Ruth's expansive appetites for the affections of teenage boys, from quiet twinks to aggressive musclemen, have been documented and form a part of the myth of this great American, many children remain unaware that Ruth also chased the poonani...

I believe he says: "OK girls, anyone who does not want to drink milk with me now can leave."

Remember Bouton's description in Ball Four of the best pep-talk he ever heard?

Before a important series, his AAA manager held his thumb and index finger a quarter-inch apart and said 'Remember boys, you're this close to big-league #####'.
