Default The Babe? Really????

Posted By: David

It is generally assumed that it is a 'generic-ized' image of Babe Ruth. It doesn't memtion Ruth anywhere on the stamp, but it was issued in Boston when Ruth played there. It's likely that the magazine didn't have the rights to actualy picture/name Ruth, so they made the generic player look as much as possible as Ruth.
