Show Any & All Things of the Bambino!
 

After all of the "Show Your" threads I've started over the last 2+ years, I just realized that I never started one for the Babe. Just how absurd is that!

David,
Every time I see that first ball you posted my Jaw drops to the ground!:eek::eek: Great Piece! And I know soon Jimmy Will have to put on his new Babe Red Sox Photos just to keep up with that Ball!!!;);) Love ya Jimmy my friend!;);)

Thanks, Al. I love that ball, too. Ya wanna know the beauty part? No cert!

BTW, those 1927 photos are stunning!

Babe Ruth
 

This first item I've never seen before I purchased it in 04 and haven't seen it since. It came from the online portion of Halper's sale. I'd say it's about 10 inches tall and the top of the baseball was designed to be a diecut sort of piece that was never used. The second item is an unused membership card and envelope to the Babe's Baseball Club.

great stuff guys
 

Guys- some great stuff so far. Thanks for sharing.....

David- that might be the nicest signed Ruth ball I have ever seen. It can't be real without a cert though? :eek:

Cert or no cert, and I dont even care if its Fake!:D:D I WANT IT!!!!!!

Well, October has been the slowest month in a long time for me, so I figured I'd dig out a previously unposted Ruth pic. I also am putting up a pic I got from Jimmy.(Nice to have you back buddy!)

A Burke. I think it's a 60's era print. 5x7. Pic is a lot sharper in person

I cannot afford vintage Bambino related items. These two news photos are the only such items I have of Ruth from his playing days. The first is from 1934 tour of Japan. The second one was taken on July 22, 1926 when he caught caught a baseball that was dropped from an airplane at Mitchell Field in New York.

I purchased this from the Mastro collection.

Well Mark. You're the one to blame for pulling me back in. ;)

From 1927. Here's one of my favorites...

Author George Vecsey had this to say about the larger than life iconic ballplayer...

"To this day, I still love talking about, reading about, writing about the Babe. He transcends the decades, the styles, the changes, the races, the money. He is America's beloved prodigal bad-boy son. He is baseball."

I would imagine that the majority of baby-boomer men feel the same way. I know I do...

Well Jimmy,
I feel like I'm about to get your best Pacino.

In honor of Albert last night, here is a scorecard from one of Babe's 3 HR WS games :

Great scorebook Doug- congrats!!
Those bombs that Albert hit last night were AMAZING, BTW!! I wonder how far two of those would have ended up traveling if the stadium didn't get in the way. He torched them!!

Ruth and Hornsby circa 1933 ?

Hey Roy,

I can't speak for the autographs, but the image is definitely from '21. Nice piece!

LMAO! That's classic Mark. :D

Here's the killer Babe that I got in a monster trade with the above mentioned Mark just a few months ago. Easily the fairest trade I've ever been involved in. Thanks again Mark...

Question about this picture or more directly, the bat Babe is carrying. Does that knob have a notch out of it or is that something on the photo itself? I know it sounds odd to even ask but given todays players, an imperfection on the knob with a chunck missing would cause the bat to be discarded. I was kinda curious to see this especially in a Ruth bat.

I'll betcha Jimmy would like to find that Ruth bat with the piece of the knob missing as his ultimate Big Bam companion piece!! :D

After looking through a pair of 10x goggles, it doesn't look like a chunk out of the knob at all. It appears to be a white dot that was on the negative not the bat. The scratch that you see to the right of Babe is also from the negative and not on the photo itself. The way that Babe griped his bats, all the way down to the knob, I couldn't see him feeling comfortable it there was a notch in the knob.

Here are a few pieces from his 1927 movie - "Babe Comes Home"

Didn't want to let this thread die, as I believe people are holding back. I know there's a lot more great Bambino stuff out there. Let's see if we can give this one some "legs" (as it deserved more traction than it got!)

Here are a few pieces that I may not yet have posted...

Nice full-web RF2!

Ruth-Farley-Speaker ball! Cool!

How great is it to see Mr. Jacksons posting some of his terrific photographs once again! :)
