Castle also came to our seats and offered autographed copies of his book on Harry Caray to those who could answer trivia questions. After leaking money for the past several days in our bus games, I was determined to come away with something. So I took a chance.
When he began, "In 1932, Babe Ruth ...," I called out, "It was Charlie Root!!" And so it was; that's the pitcher who threw the alleged called-shot home run at Wrigley Field. I got one book, then another for knowing that Sandy Koufax was the last pitcher to no-hit the Cubs, in 1965. He wasn't going to give me the second book until I said I wanted to give it to the grandson of my seatmate. Which I did.
