Description

This 65-page vintage scrapbook, packed with newspaper clippings and 42 wire and news service photographs, lovingly details Ruth’s career. It includes everything from the box score of the Babe's first major league game in 1914 through his last farewell days in retirement. This vintage compilation was likely assembled just after Ruth’s demise and includes photos of the Babe with Lou Gehrig, smiling with an exuberant Ted Williams, posing with his many fans and much more. The photos contained in the scrapbook are loose, not having been mounted in any detrimental manner.
