Nice digging Pat. You would think Koenig would have mentioned that, although he didn't keep any of his memorabilia, that he did keep a bat given to him by Ruth. But he flat out states that he had nothing from his time with the Yankees. And his interactions with Ruth make it seem less likely he would have received a bat from Babe in the first place.
It reminds me why I stay within the safe confines of my card world, and my pick of the Gehrig card has gotten even stronger.
