Ruth hit so many historic home runs, the Called Shot, the 3 in one game as his career winded down, the 1st at the "new" Yankee Stadium, the 3 for the boy in the hospital, # 60, and the list goes on. Well here is one more,
the 1st in an All Star Game!
We talk about unscored and scored programs/scorecards here on NET54 and the great majority prefer them filled in, they want something that was in the ballpark, guaranteed, witnessing the Historic event! And what a sight it must have been in Old Comiskey Park seeing all these legends in a game for the first time squaring off and Ruth hitting the initial Home Run, only fitting.
There is a note on the front cover somewhat faint
"Thought you would like to have the score card, Uncle Herb". Uncle Herb also has some notes on the inside as well of who pinch ran for who. Great character on this rare relic of the game.
