That's a conversation that didn't take place in my corner of the world but Babe Ruth did make it to my Iowa town on his Ford Motor Company tour to promote American Legion baseball. This was the summer of 1948 and there's a picture of him riding through town in a parade waving at fans from a convertible. I've heard that was his last public appearance before dying.
