Default Return to Babe Ruth Barnstorming Ballpark
I did an interview today with Amanda Rose a NBC News reporter out of Medford, Oregon. It was regarding the Babe Ruth 1924 Tour real photo postcard in our current auction. I had no idea she had gone to the actual ballpark that is in the photo with Ruth standing in front of the stands. I can’t believe it still exists. Kudos to this true journalist.

Here is a link to the story

Interesting read about that day, I guess the newspapers couldn't
get their facts straight.

I have seen at least one, Josh. I know a few people that owned it and saw it in person, if I recall correctly. And I think there might be another but not sure. It was always one of my faves and I couldn't afford it then just as now.
Jeff, whom you asked, would know better than I if there are more. I know there is at least one more.

Have seen 4 others including the one Leon mentions as I used to own it. One other sold on eBay years ago for cheap and was a real beater. The two others were in personal collections, one I saw a photo online and the other I saw in person. Amazing postcard regardless, I have bids in on it.

By the way, the 1907 Tigers dugout photo cannot be 1907 based on the uniform and Jim Delahanty being in the photo.

Cool story, I didn't know of it beforehand. I drive down past Dunsmuir every year, so maybe I'll have to take my boys for a pit stop there and find the field.
And it was pretty funny and a perfect example of small-town media that the reporter shows which side of the plate Babe hit from.
