Davenport featuring George Herman 'Babe' Ruth's first ever appearance in a Spalding guide on page 198. In very good condition with light rubbing to the spine and extremities. An incredible piece of baseball history. American baseball legend George Herman "Babe" Ruth Jr. began his MLB career as a stellar left-handed pitcher for the Boston Red Sox but achieved his greatest fame as a slugging outfielder for the New York Yankees. He established a record number of MLB batting records including career home runs 714 runs batted in 2213 and slugging percentage .690. During his career he was the target of intense press and public attention and his sometimes controversial lifestyle was tempered by his willingness to do good by visiting children at hospitals and orphanages.
