Hi Randall, your card belongs to a very scarce boardgame, Home Base Ball: The National Game, produced by a Richmond, Virginia outfit that identified itself variously as "Home Baseball Corporation" and "The Home Base Ball Company." The game had long been identified as a 1922 product, but the 1936 patent (first we've had a look at that detail -- thanks) strongly suggests it is indeed actually from the mid-late-1930s.
Although the card image sure does look like the Bambino, the game's box lid carries the names of several luminaries, none of them the Babe: "Endorsed by / John McGraw / Buck Herzog / Jack Onslow / Eddie Dyer / and others," it says.
