Description:  After saving Cleopatra, she inadvertently travels to the 1920's and helps out Lucky Luciano kidnap Babe Ruth. In 1919, Jeff and Phineas convince the Babe to give up pitching and become the home run hitting champion he is more famous for. This episode takes place in five different settings: Rome, Italy on March 14, 44 BC, New York City, New York on May 21, 1927, Boston, Massachusetts in 1919, Cambridge, England in 1669 and New York City, New York from September 29 to September 30, 1927. Bogg and Jeffrey rescue Cleopatra when her life was in danger. They take her with them accidentally when they leave and they land in the 1920's where she decides to stay. She gets away from them and assimilates. Later they discover Yankee Stadium--the house that Ruth built is not there because Ruth didn't play for the Yankees. So they go back when he was still a pitcher and a prima donna. They try to get him to switch from pitcher to hitter. When they succeed they return to look for Cleopatra whom they discover has fallen in with Lucky Luciano and is using her to keep Ruth from hitting his 60th home run.
