What has the Baseball Hall of Fame done to lend credence to the called shot home hit by Babe Ruth in the 1932 World Series against the Chicago Cubs?
The Baseball Home of Fame has help perpetuate the so called Called Shot by Babe Ruth by having a painting by Robert Thomas clearly showing the Babe making the called shot. The homer by Ruth remains disputed as Babe Ruth refused to either confirm it discredit it. Reliable sources such as Lou Gehrig who was on deck said the homer definitely a called homer. The Cub's pitcher at the time, Charlie Root, adamantly says it was not.

How Did Babe Ruth Get Famous?
By calling his shot. He was also the career home run leader until Hank Aaron broke his record of 714. Aaron then had his record broken by Barry Bonds. Ruth was also an established pitcher. Don't forget about the "curse" either.
What baseball player once pointed to a spot in the outfield and then hit a home run?
I assume you mean the "called shot," hit by Babe Ruth on October 1, 1932 at Wrigley Field. There's a great deal of debate as to whether he was actually pointing at the bleachers or something else (the pitcher, for example).
