Additional Memorabilia from the 1920 Cuban Series
Hey all, I'm new to the group, but I stumbled across this thread while trying to authenticate some memorabilia. I figured it might be something else that goes really nice with this chapter of Ruth's life and Cuban beisbol culture in general. The photos included are a mini Cuba pennant signed by Babe Ruth and Frank Frisch and was given to a waiter as a tip at the Jockey Club Americano in Havana. The waiter wrote the letter to his family and mailed the signed pennant home. The pennant is dated Novembre 4, 1920 and the letter is dated Novembre 6, 1920. I'm not an expert in Spanish, but the waiter was given instructions to never let Ruth's glass go empty.
I'm in the process of getting everything authenticated, but I find it hard to believe someone would forge the signature and base it around Ruth's gambling and drinking binge in Havana. |
