The guy who provided the provenance also owned a Sports Card Shop: Saybrook Sports Cards.
According to him, when he was 8 or 9 (he died in 2003 at age 75), Babe Ruth walked into a hotel where a breakfast was being held for a 'Father and Son get together', and the boy's father had to ask him "who the man was" "I couldn't believe he didn't know who Babe Ruth was." Apparently young Bill and his father attended this event with his father somehow being unaware that Babe Ruth would be attending.
I'm sorry, but this stinks.
