I think I’ve shared this before, but it is a 1920 St. Mary’s Industrial school fund raising brochure with an image of Ruth in his Red Sox uniform. The fundraising was to rebuild parts of the school that burned down.
In 1919, a fire on the St. Mary’s campus destroyed many of the original buildings that dated to Babe Ruth’s time there. Based on my understanding, Ruth invited the St Mary’s band to travel to games where he was playing and they passed out these flyers to raise money.
I picked this up as I didn’t know there was anything like this that existed.
As a kid I remember hearing about Ruth’s childhood and the story of his time at St. Mary’s fascinated me.
