This is one of Ruth's earliest barnstorming game. 1918 Ruth and a few other Red Sox players participated in this game which occured just a week after the 1918 world series. Ruth pitched in this exhibition game and is in the lineup batting fourth. I also have the newspaper clipping that was saved with the program that says before the game for the benefit of the Hartford troops in WWI two items were auctioned off - 1) Ball hit by Ruth for a triple in the world series and 2) Ty Cobb game used bat that a Hartford man acquired from Cobb. Where are those items now!
Terrific Post Patricka.
Thanks Ben. You know I've bought so much from the Walsh Family, but this letter was from an auction house. Go figure.
