Eddie Bennett was a hunchbacked young man who served as the team mascot in the late twenties early thirties. He can be seen in many film clips of Ruth crossing the plate after a home run--Bennett picks up his bat and shakes his hand.

Thanks. I love to learn new things like this.

It would be a shame to break up a book that's been complete for 80 years. I would advise the owner against it.

But the sad reality is that maximizing return almost always trumps history. If a flipper gets it, it's as good as sliced and diced and mounted in manufactured 1 of 1 cards.

That would be unfortunate.

This book I would buy and definitely NOT cut up or separate. I would buy it to insure it would be preserved as is....it is a treasure!
It should, if it is sold be sold with a contract/ proviso that it must remain intact.
However that is not likely in this era of the fast buck and insert cards.
