dirwuf Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 What kind of solemn ceremony would the Cubs have possibly recruited Milton Berle for? Really, I need to find out the story behind this pic, which I found in an espn.com article about Ron Santo. It's either 1970 or 1971. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Some google searching led me to a transcript of an interview with Tom Hanks. He mentioned that Milton Berle once stopped a Cubs game for a moment of prayer for the crewmen of the Apollo 13.So that must have either happened during the Cubs game, or prior to it.

dirwuf Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 Wow, thanks for the great detective work...the transcript of Tom Hanks is at: http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0405/29/pitn.01.html ...just search for 'Cubs' on the page. The pic was taken sometime between April 14-17, 1970.The Hanks transcript indicates that the interview included a video clip of Berle at Wrigley, which I think may even have been used in the film "Apollo 13"...can someone verify that?What I find most amusing about all of this is that espn.com apparently needed a photo of Santo for their article ( http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/columns/sto...&id=2782088 ) and this was the best they could do...
