Posted By: <b>Ben</b><p>Hi all,<br /><br />Never imagined I'd be back in the hobby so soon, but the urge to continue persuing cool items like this is hard to deny. Has anyone heard of or seen one of these 1935 Gunther beer maps before? It measures approx. 14" x 20" and features all sorts of sports records that had been set prior to 1935. Take note of the baseball content - Babe Ruth, Connie Mack, Rube Marquard, Ty Cobb, and the New York Giants are all featured with their own little cartoons and writeups. It was such a cool and unique looking piece that I had to have it. So I thought I'd share it with you all and welcome your input. <br /><br /><img src="http://home.earthlink.net/~jdridge/images/gunthermap.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Glenn</b><p>Very cool. Why do they credit Ruth with 723 homers? World Series included?

Posted By: <b>pete</b><p>According to my stats...Ruth had 729 including his 15 WS homers. Must be a rare error version!
