Way off topic, but just curious
 
Someone visited by house while I was at work on Wednesday. I got home to find, between the storm door and house door, a large framed print of Babe Ruth, a book called 500 Ballparks, and a page-a-day calendar of baseball facts. No notes, no phone messages, no Facebook posts. Just stuff in the door.

While curious about who did this, I'm also curious as to what this photo/print is. I've spent some time on line trying to find it, and have found only two references that look anything like it. This first one is a better representation

but the one in the second photo is exactly it. Even the frame, and the fake Lefty Grove autograph.

Don't think anyone here can help me figure out who left the gifts, but if anyone has information on the mass produced print, I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

Clue, not Ted Kaczynski, he's still in prison. LOL

Your gifts were left by the Sports Hobby Fairies.

What color of tights are these baseball memorabilia fairies wearing? Can they be seen dancing around ballcard shows?

Sounds like your Called Shot print is bigger, but in 1976, it was one of four 8-1/2" x 11" Robert Thom prints distributed by Chevrolet dealers.
