Waite Hoyt

Joe Dugan ---- In the books that I have seen about Babe Ruth, that information is clouded if not simply not recorded for posterity. In the book Babe Ruth A Biography it is stated that there were 8 official pallbearers, all of whom were former teammates. The two that are 'remembered' are Joe Dugan and Waite Hoyt because of the statement supposedly uttered by Hoyt when Dugan said, at the funeral, "I'd give a hundred dollars for a beer", to which Hoyt supposedly replied "So would the Babe". As with almost everything with Babe Ruth, one must wonder whether this 'conversation' ever took place or whether it was part of the lore that always surrounded him. The book also states there were 57 honorary pallbearers that included politicians, former ballplayers, and Hollywood stars, one of which was William Bendix who played Ruth in the movie The Babe Ruth Story. Connie Mack & Whitey Whitt are also mentioned as pallbearers in Fred Lieb's Baseball as I Have Known It.
