I'd love to know more - I'm not familiar with this stamp. Is it not Babe Ruth but Rube Foster?? It looks like Ruth to me.....

FYI, am guessing you maybe meant Waddell (?) though he never played for Boston. Anyway just as FYI, Rube Foster is one of the greatest (maybe the greatest) early 20th century black pitcher, and is known as the "father of black baseball" for his work playing (in), managing (in), and organizing (of) the negro leagues.

Lots of early 20th Century Rubes to keep track of for sure ... Wish the nickname would make a comeback.
