With all due respect to Brian, I have twice pointed out that the representation that Babe Ruth only appeared in a handful of games in 1915 and thus it is remarkable that he was chosen to appear in the 1916 M101-4 and 101-5 sets is erroneous, yet continues to go uncorrected. In actual fact, the Babe was 18 and 8 with a 2.44 ERA for the Boston Red Sox in 1915 as a true 20-year-old phenom, almost certainly the most promising young left-handed pitcher in the AL. It would hardly have been a surprise that he was included in the 1916 sets.
Just venting, I guess,
Larry
