George Herman was one of the great North American rounders players. Beckie Royer asked Justin Monroe if he agreed with the consensus that Herman was the greatest player of the game. Monroe, not a native of the alternate, gave a vague answer.[1] However, when Beckie asked Ted Snodgrass and Randolph Brooks their opinion, Justin figured out that Herman was a figure similar to George Herman Ruth aka Babe Ruth of the Home timeline. He interjected his own private joke, saying Herman was "ruthless", a joke only Brooks understood.[2]

Beckie was puzzled by Justin's apparent unfamiliarity with Herman.[3]

Literary Comment

As it is unclear as to whether or not George Herman is genetically the same person as Babe Ruth or a close analog, George Herman has been given a separate article.
