Item Number: 286
Time Left: CLOSED
Description
Player-manager Mickey Cochrane, on his way to leading the Tigers to two consecutive pennants, including their first World Series victory in 1935, chats with Babe Ruth at Navin Field before the Babe's final game in Detroit. Amazingly, Cochrane almost didn't get the job. Owner Frank Navin had invited Ruth to Detroit to discuss managing, but the Yankee slugger instead took his family on vacation and told Navin he'd see him later. Navin turned to Cochrane instead. (September 19, 1934).
