Fox Nation unravels the mystery of Babe Ruth's 'called shot' in new special
Babe Ruth has been an integral figure in American sports lore for over one hundred years. With that fame comes a long list of iconic moments from his career. From winning the American League MVP in 1923 to winning seven World Series titles with the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox, Ruth is still regarded today as one of the greatest baseball players of all time. But one moment in his career remains shrouded in mystery and controversy — despite its long staying power in baseball and American culture. 'THE TIDES THAT BIND': ALABAMA COACH KALEN DEBOER OFFERS INSIDE ACCESS TO DEBUT SEASONThe new documentary episodic event streaming on Fox Nation, "Did Babe Ruth Call His Shot?," analyzes whether Ruth really predicted his own home run in Game 3 of the 1932 World Series. As legend has it, Ruth pointed to center field during an at-bat in the fifth inning of the game. He then unleashed a home run deep into the depths of Wrigley Field, cementing his legacy in one of the most important games of that season. Ruth "calling his shot" has never been fully proven almost one hundred years later, but baseball expert and host of "Stonehenge: Built by Giants" Mike O'Hara traveled across the country to get more answers in the new Fox Nation special. Along his travels, O'Hara interviewed many former players, fans, and historians to get closer to the truth about one of baseball's oldest and most captivating mysteries. During an appearance on "The Will Cain Show' podcast, Tuesday, former Yankees starting pitcher David Wells discussed being featured in "Did Babe Ruth Call His Shot?" "In the series, you'll see different things than him, you know, chirping like I just said," Wells explained. He later added, "He [Ruth] put his bat out there. He's holding it out there, right? And so, that's proof enough for me. It really is." To learn more about Babe Ruth's "called shot," subscribe to Fox Nation to watch now.

Fox Nation goes inside Alabama's iconic 'Million Dollar Band,' catches up with the Crimsonettes
The sights and sounds of college football include much more than just what happens on the gridiron. They come from the marching band, as well. In episode 3 of the Fox Nation series, "The Tides That Bind," the Alabama Crimson Tide's 'Million Dollar Band' is showcased during practices and before major football games. As the latest installment explores, perhaps the loudest sound of all is the immense pride that's shared among members of the band — to whom it's much more than just an extracurricular activity."It became a big goal of mine to make the drumline at Bama," drumline member of the 'Million Dollar Band' and University of Alabama senior Cade Wilson said in the new episode. "It was probably the best day of my life so far."'THE TIDES THAT BIND': ALABAMA COACH KALEN DEBOER OFFERS INSIDE ACCESS TO DEBUT SEASON For Wilson, it's an honor and a legacy; both his parents were members of the band in their younger years. His father was a drummer and his mother was a member of the Crimsonettes, the baton-twirling group that performs alongside the 'Million Dollar Band.' "Fulfilling that family legacy meant a lot," Wilson WORKER REVEALS ALABAMA FOOTBALL TEAM 'INSPIRED' HIS LATE SON IN NEW FOX NATION SPECIAL The episode also spotlighted the Crimsonettes, during which captain Sally Otts expressed how intimidating the road environments are for the Crimson Tide — especially when the team travels to Knoxville to play their rivals, the Tennessee Volunteers. "This week, we will talk about how to react in a positive manner when things aren't going well," Otts said."Because that environment [Tennessee] is so negative and scary, and if we lose, it can be really intense," she explained of the Volunteers fan base, known for being passionate and, to some, downright annoying. Wilson stressed the significance of being part of such a historic band before kickoff between the Crimson Tide and the Volunteers. "I'm an ambassador of the university every time I put on that script 'A'," Wilson said. "I'm in uniform with all my best friends. I have a purpose to serve." "You have a chance to represent the university at the highest level. That is as far as you can go without being literally on the football team."
