Roger Allen
In 1937, Bulloch County's citizens had a chance to match wits with the one and only "Sultan of Swat," Babe Ruth, perhaps the greatest baseball player in the game's long history.

The show was sponsored by Sinclair Oil, whose local refining agent was the W.L. Waller Company in Statesboro.
