Think clearly now.
Johnny Cash once sang of “A Boy Named Sue”.
It could have easily been “A Boy Name Ruth” instead.
Top that off by giving the poor kid a nickname of “Babe”.
I dare say such a kid might have been bullied and grew to hate his name.
Perhaps Babe Ruth himself once owned the card listed, created the doodle, and crossed out his own name.
Forensic analysis could verify this hypothesis and the value of the card could skyrocket.
