Babe's getting a historical marker in Baldwyn, his birthplace.
Funny excerpt:
The two had been a great pair. Once, Wendell crashed into a water cooler diving after a loose ball for the Kentucky Colonels. His injuries required more than 50 stitches, but Wendell returned to the game. Afterward, a sports writer asked of Babe, "Wendell doesn't know the meaning of the word fear, does he"?
To which Babe answered, "No, but then ol' Wendell doesn't know the meanin' of a whole lot of words."
