Roanoke Man Recalls Getting Babe Ruth's Autograph Roanoke Man Recalls Getting Babe Ruth’s Autograph Robert Garland poses for a photo in Roanoke. Garland, who attended some of baseball’s most historic games, got an autograph from baseball legend Babe Ruth while visiting New York on his honeymoon in 1943. Over sixty-nine years ago, Robert Garland got a pretty nifty wedding present—Babe Ruth’s autograph. Garland was a soldier boy on his honeymoon with his new bride, Frances, in New York City where they stayed at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel for $10 a night ($7.50 with the serviceman’s discount) and where he attended the first three games of the 1943 World Series between the New York Yankees and the St. Louis Cardinals. Garland, a native of Roanoke, Virginia who had recently been inducted as a World War II intensified, was in his Army uniform when he scrambled down to the box seats where Ruth was sitting right before one of the games. Ruth, the great home run champion for the Yankees, had retired in 1935. Ruth chomped on a cigar and looked resplendent in his dark suit and striped tie as he signed autographs for the mob that had descended upon him. Garland held up a pen and his address book, hoping to score a signature. Ruth spied him and hollered, “Let the soldier through!” Fans stepped out of the way as Ruth signed the address book while Garland snapped three quick photographs with his 35 mm camera. Garland, now 89, recounted that story recently, just a few days before he and Frances celebrated their 69th anniversary. “I wish I had the sense to have my picture taken with him,” Garland said as he looked at the black-and-white photographs of the “Sultan of Swat” he keeps in a scrapbook, along with the autograph. The pictures are good, especially the one of Ruth turning toward the camera to hand the pen back to Garland. Attending a World Series was old hat for Garland, whose family ran a chain of drugstores in Roanoke. His father, Walter Garland, Sr., often received baseball tickets, even World Series tickets, from drug manufacturers he dealt with. Robert Garland joined his dad for trips to see the Washington Senators play at Griffith Stadium in the 1930s. He attended the very first major league All-Star game in 1933 at Chicago’s Comiskey Park, a game christened by a home run from none other than the Babe. He even got a baseball signed at that game by more than dozen Hall of Famers that included Lou Gehrig, Carl Hubbell, Bill Terry and Lefty Grove. His father made Robert Garland of Roanoke took some 16mm film of the All-Star game, which Garland this photo of Babe Ruth when he got the legend's autograph. believes a relative still has. He and his older brother attended a couple of games of the 1933 World Series, which featured the New York Giants, his favorite team, against the Senators. That was the last time a Washington baseball team made the post-season until this year, when the Washington Nationals won the National League East Division. His love of baseball waned during the grown-up years of running a business and raising four children in the southwest Roanoke home where he and Frances still live. But he will never forget what it was like to look Babe Ruth in the eye and get his autograph. “It was kind of an exciting time,” Garland said. “He was the most famous player then. He probably still is. .

Loughnan crew, 2 minor casualties Length of Mission: 6 hours, 15 minutes Bomb Load: 12 x 1,000 lb G.P. plus M47A1 Incendiary bombs Bombing Altitude: 23,500 ft Ammo Fired: 51,360 rounds Enemy Aircraft Claims: 6 Destroyed, 3 Probables rankfurt, Germany was today’s target. Six Group B-17s aborted the mission: F #42-29894 Baltimore Bounce 359BS (Clifford) - The 427BS crew transferred to a spare aircraft and the pilot didn't have an oxygen mask. #42-5854 Alley Oop 360BS (Cogswell) and #42-5177 Fast Worker MK II 359BS (Hanselman) - The pilots thought they were short on gas. #42-5788 A.O.G. Not in Stock 360BS (Baker) - The No. 3 engine had a runaway prop. #41-24629 (No Name) 358BS (Hartigan) - The interphone was out and the supercharger was lagging. #42-5257 Miss Bea Haven 359BS (Brown) - The waist gunner became ill. The lead bombardier, 1Lt. Byron K. Butt, overshot the IP when industrial haze and smoke made it difficult to observe. After several right turns they were back on the bomb run course. Bombs were dropped using the bombsight after a 25-second bomb run. The fifteen remaining Group aircraft dropped 1,000-lb. bombs plus M47A1 incendiary bombs from 23,500 feet. Four aircraft also carried leaflets. The formation was escorted part of the way into enemy territory by P-47 fighters. However, for the roughest part of the trip–into Germany proper–the bombers flew unescorted.

    Records and History Old Dominion University Baseball 2009 Old Dominion University Baseball 2009 27 BUD METHENY n Jan 2, 2003 Old Dominion University and the athletic program lost a legend with the passing of Bud MethenyO and his wife Fran on the same day. Bud spent 32 years at the University from 1948 to 1980 as an instructor, basketball coach, athletic director and coach of the baseball program. Baseball was his passion, and where he made his mark. As a member of the New York Yankees from 1937 to 1946, Bud played on the 1943 World Series championship squad that stopped St. Louis. Bud started for the Yankees in the second and last game of the series. As a coach of the Monarchs, he rolled up a 423‑363‑6 record and was honored by the NCAA as the Eastern Regional coach of the year in 1963 and ‘64 and National Coach Of the Year in 1964. His Monarchs won the NCAA College Division Eastern Regional championship in 1963 and 1964 and took second in 1965. Bud not only coached baseball, but he was the men’s basketball head coach from 1948‑1965, compiling a 198‑163 record and posting 16 winning seasons. He served as the University’s athletic director from 1963‑1970. Following his retirement it was only fitting to honor Bud with the naming of the new baseball stadium in 1983 and with the adoption of the blue and white pin stripes of the Yankees on uniforms the following year, which coincides with the University’s new school colors, adopted in 1986.

The cheers tonight will be thunderous as Barry is introduced in the only ballpark where he remains a great hero, and even a beloved personage. The cheers will be even louder when baseball honors Willie Mays. These cheers will be echoed across the land for one of the greatest players in the history of the game.
