Default Sept. 18`th 1920 Ruth/Jackson final game snapshot

Being a Babe fan can be very expensive/competitive so I gravitate towards the St Mary`s Industrial School items when they pop up. Really enjoy this item, it being one of 3 snapshots from Sept. 18`th 1920 depicting the final game between the Babe and Joe Jackson. Babe took the St M`s band on the road at the end of the 1920 season to raise money to rebuild his fire ravaged home where his baseball career started. Another interesting twist with this snapper, it shows members of the famous Black Sox just about 10 days prior to Judge Landis ending all 8 of their careers forever.
