Babe Ruth pitching a football
 
Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>I picked this up very recently on ebay and thought it interesting. The ebay seller says it's from the 1930's and from Angola. I think they needed to brush up on the American past time before producing this card. They should have known he was a lefty... The pics say it all. Best regards<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1165245822.JPG"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1165245896.JPG">

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Not only is Ruth pitching right handed but that may be the worst likeness of him I have ever seen, but I like it nonetheless. One of the native languages of Angola is Portuguese, so I am guessing that is what is on the back of the card.

Posted By: <b>Rhys</b><p>Hey Leon, I think this might be the first ever appearance of a giant foam finger on a card! Absolutely a Foam Finger Rookie Card!<br /><br />Rhys

Posted By: <b>joe brenna</b><p>Is that a UFO? Or is that a football he is throwing? Either way, they did little research about basball for the card. Either way, cool card. Joe<br><br>People said it was a million dollar wound. But the government must keep that money, cause I ain't never seen a penny of it.

Posted By: <b>Max Weder</b><p>A few points:<br /><br />1. Isn't that a hand grenade, rather than a football, that the right handed Babe is tossing?<br /><br />2. I am somewhat concerned that Babe appears to be wearing nylon stockings.<br /><br />3. The likeness is a little more Nuke Lalosh from Bull Durham, rather than the Babe.
