An amusing curiosity. Babe Ruth can't help but get off his train to play baseball with some kids, who won't believe he is who he says he is. Baseball fans like me will enjoy the old sandlot footage and seeing the Babe in action.
This seems to have been part of a weekly series of one-reelers in which Ruth would teach one or two more baseball fundamentals while goofing around in each installment. Here he instructs us on the fadeaway slide and how not to "step in the bucket" when hitting. Watching Ruth slide in slow motion while wearing slacks and a tie is a memorable sight.
The short ends on a suspicious note as Babe Ruth encourages kids to run onto the railway track by dropping his bag of extra baseballs on it.
