Babe Ruth has been cast as a vengeful spirit. No ghosts of various Christmases for him, no sir. He was at best a poltergeist messing with our heads (straining hamstrings so that centerfielders have to be replaced with players of less defensive ability, causing pitches to go wild and then causing gimpy first basemen to be unable to field a ball rolling toward him, and blowing on a home run ball very early one morning) and at worst a run-of-the-mill ghost so upset by being sold to the Yankees that he vowed revenge on his beloved Red Sox.
