Couple things
1. Man Ernie Shore was tall....can see why he lasted so long in majors/Minors
2. Went to BabeRuth Museum in Bmore ( his birthplace ). its not worth a road trip, unless you go to Camden Yards ( i now live in area) but something interesting....
i collect GU materal, and there was a "1910s Joe Jackson Bat, given to Ruth" = Donated by Ruth Family
a. Very interesting bat, however it was made between 1921-25. (Center Label), plus only had his last name
just like

same Last name ( Louisville stopped putting full name, after banishment
b. Ruth said he modeled his swing after Jackson...so makes sense
c. Would have been interesting to figure out when Ruth and Jackson met, in order to get the bat
Does anyone have any accounts of when Ruth and Jackson may have barnstormed or met, Post 1920?
