Baby Ruth, given name George Herman Ruth, helped to introduce an offensive revolution in baseball. In the 1920s his batting averages, home runs, and runs scored soared to new heights. Babe Ruth was also to a large extent responsible for manning the great Yankee dynasty of the 1920s and early 1930s. Between 1921 and 1932 the Yankees won seven pennants and four World Series.  No figure from the world of sport exceeded the public appeal of Babe Ruth.  As with no other sports figure in American history except perhaps Muhammad Ali, Ruth continued long after his playing career ended to occupy a towering place in America’s imagination.  This facsimile photograph of Baby Ruth along with a signature cut from a document are mounted on a 9"x11" matboard.
