Game 3 of the 1932 World Series is a pretty famous one in Yankees lore. In the fifth inning of a tied game, Babe Ruth made a pointing gesture towards the outfield moments before hitting a home run, in what is now known as the “Called Shot.” What exactly Ruth was doing and whether or not he truly called that he was going to hit a home run remains debated, but even the mere possibility of him doing so is enough to make the moment iconic.
The home run was also a fairly important one too, as the Yankees won by just two runs.
