Steve Wulf, the longtime baseball writer and editor for Sports Illustrated and then ESPN the Magazine, was sitting at a picnic table in the Yankee locker room back in the eighties when the ancient clubhouse man, Pete Sheehy, hired in 1927, came and sat down across from him. “You knew the Babe, what was he really like?” Wulf asked. “He looked around to make sure nobody was really listening. He said, ‘He never flushed.’ “It was like a secret he’d been holding in for sixty years.”
