Babe Ruth hit more homers than the other 35 players born on this date 714-687. Amazing stat is that the next five on the list for most homers were all Pirates players for a stretch, Richie Zisk, Dale Long, Smoky Burgess, Glenn Wright and Pedro Alvarez. Not exactly a group of no names.
I don't have any Ruth cards, but I have something I like a little more. The bat William Bendix used(and took home) in the Babe Ruth Story. His niece(a family friend) gave it to me when I was eight

Another with 13 players who were with the Pittsburgh Pirates during the regular season, but never played a game. There's also one about 27 baseball families, as well as a day-by-day look at the worst team in Pittsburgh Pirates history.
