Original telegram announcing Babe Ruth's demise...
With all the Babe Ruth meant to the game, it's hard to imagine how it must've felt for baseball fans to learn of his demise. Here's an original telegram to the editor of the Chicago Tribune announcing Babe's death.
This telegram dated August 16, 1948 states, “Baseball King George Herman Ruth passed away today after a lengthy illness. Death cause in next telegraph following A.P. press release.” Only 53 years old at the time of his death, Babe Ruth was one of the most recognizable men on the planet. The telegram can be seen on CooperstownExpert.com. There's plenty of other Cooperstown-worthy pieces there. On Babe's page there are 5 letters surrounding the Called Shot of the 1932 World Series from men who were there and played in the game.
