Elevators and Babe Ruth

from Tell Me What You Know Hosted by Michael Brown, Michael Peloquin

On today’s episode of Tell Me What You Know, we aim to get a rise out of our audience with a little elevator talk. We’ll start the conversation off with a little history, change floors quickly for elevator facts, then move on up to the penthouse for a discussion on some of the most unique elevators in the world. Finally, we’ll get into what you should do should you be trapped in an elevator. Hopefully this episode isn’t a let down. And then, “The Sultan of Swat”, “The King of Crash”, “The Great Bambino”. Yes, we’re talking about Yankee slugger and American hero, Babe Ruth. Why was his name Babe? It’s actually George. How did he get all those nicknames? Did he actually call his shot to center field in the 1932 World Series? Well folks, when the legend becomes fact, print the legend. Stick around to hear all about this American icon on Tell Me What You Know.
