February 14, 2022 – Hernando Beach, FL – Managed to track down a couple of West Bend’s finest, friends to many, now living in Hernando Beach, Florida.
Gunter and Barb Woog were West Bend famous for their love of Lithia Beer history, a craft beer fire truck and Barb made her mark as a popular English teacher at Slinger High School; she was part of the local theatre scene, as well.
They have a lovely home; much downsized from the estate on Silver Lake but spacious and well landscaped by Gunter.
My room was easy to find. It was the one labeled Princess Judy’s Chambers.
My time spent with friends was great and the open-door policy at the Woog’s is much appreciated.
Ruth once pitched a combined no-hitter without retiring a single batter.
On June 23, 1917, Ruth took the mound against the Washington Senators and walked the leadoff hitter, Ray Morgan. Ruth argued balls and strikes with home plate umpire Brick Owens so vociferously that he was ejected from the game. Ruth rushed Owens and threw a punch that struck the back of the umpire’s neck. Morgan was then thrown out trying to steal second base, and Ruth’s replacement, Ernie Shore, retired the next 26 batters in order.
