Nineteen: ’Rock’ and ’The Babe’ - The Collision of Sports Earliest Superstars

The third episode of the month?! Phew! 

Irish coach Knute Rockne and baseball slugger Babe Ruth's ascent to fame almost perfectly coincided with each other's, and were even the subject of a couple famous photographs. So what's the story here? Ever wonder where and when cross-promoting between sports became much more prevalent? I give you Exhibit A and B...Knute Rockne and Babe Ruth! Today, Alex sets the two legends on a collision course, where they were only destined to meet. 

I hope everyone is staying well. I know there are many baseball fans in the audience who are now coping with the postponement of Opening Day. Given that, I hope this episode can scratch the baseball as well as the Irish itch!

Enjoy!
