https://www.tcdb.com/SetHOF.cfm/sid/212967/1918-Zeenut "Big Head" strips are an interesting set to date. They show Babe Ruth as a batter, artfully adapted from a similar image printed by Universal Toy & Novelty Co. (catalogued W516-1) in 1920. 1919 seems his first everyday batting season. There's a good chance Universal Toy also printed the "Big Head" set, implying a date _after_ their W516-1 image, which still showed him pitching. W516-1 says "Yanks," so it came out after his sale to New York in late Dec 1919. He more or less stopped pitching in his first NY season (1920), so W516-1 either came out in 1920 or Universal Toy missed changing that text in later years.
