awesome: IT figures it'd be Buck Showalter, the same guy that used to manage the Texas Rangers that had Bonds walked. I'll have to check into it. Yep, it looks like you're right. There's no mention of Babe Ruth getting a bases loaded intentional walk. I found an article that has five of them being done and a good explanation of the intentional walk.

I probably heard the guy mention Babe Ruth when it was done to Bonds and thought that he knew what he was talking about. Thanks for straightening me out on that. :)
