Why did Babe Ruth come to Lindenhurst?

Answer 1

Babe Ruth was an avid fisherman and Lindenhurst was a very prominant fishing town at the time so the story is that while making his fishing trips there he became friends with the coach of a local Baseball team which prompted his exhibition game there however I have also heard that another motive for his Lindenhurst visits was Bologna Joe's which was a very popular speakeasy
