Default Babe Ruth

I don't know if schools still participate.

The Babe Ruth Foundation Sportsmanship Award was started by Ruth for underprivileged children who exhibited true sportsmanship during the school year.

I believe it was started around 1947 or so?

I picked up an unused plaque and award separately on eBay.

I also have an award given to a student - not sure where it is.

The plaque was made by Balfour (about 10x16") - I saw a pic where the plaque was placed with other school awards.

There are some pics on the net with students but no info.





On the back:



Individual award - never issued/engraved:





I had a writeup on this but couldn't find it - perhaps someone else has more info?
