Babe Ruth pitching a football

I picked this up very recently on ebay and thought it interesting. The ebay seller says it's from the 1930's and from Angola. I think they needed to brush up on the American past time before producing this card. They should have known he was a lefty... The pics say it all. Best regards

Not only is Ruth pitching right handed but that may be the worst likeness of him I have ever seen, but I like it nonetheless. One of the native languages of Angola is Portuguese, so I am guessing that is what is on the back of the card.

Hey Leon, I think this might be the first ever appearance of a giant foam finger on a card! Absolutely a Foam Finger Rookie Card!

Is that a UFO? Or is that a football he is throwing? Either way, they did little research about basball for the card. Either way, cool card. Joe

People said it was a million dollar wound. But the government must keep that money, cause I ain't never seen a penny of it.

A few points:

1. Isn't that a hand grenade, rather than a football, that the right handed Babe is tossing?

2. I am somewhat concerned that Babe appears to be wearing nylon stockings.

3. The likeness is a little more Nuke Lalosh from Bull Durham, rather than the Babe.
