Babe ruth 1915-1919 rookie/red sox era photos/memorabilia

[Forever Young]

Here are some other TYPE 1 Ruth photos in my collection as a member of the Red Sox. Anyone else??

Couple things

1. Man Ernie Shore was tall....can see why he lasted so long in majors/Minors

2. Went to BabeRuth Museum in Bmore ( his birthplace ). its not worth a road trip, unless you go to Camden Yards ( i now live in area) but something interesting....

i collect GU materal, and there was a "1910s Joe Jackson Bat, given to Ruth" = Donated by Ruth Family

a. Very interesting bat, however it was made between 1921-25. (Center Label), plus only had his last name

just like http://ownitnow.memorylaneinc.com/gallery.aspx?id=4158

same Last name ( Louisville stopped putting full name, after banishment

b. Ruth said he modeled his swing after Jackson...so makes sense

c. Would have been interesting to figure out when Ruth and Jackson met, in order to get the bat


Does anyone have any accounts of when Ruth and Jackson may have barnstormed or met, Post 1920?

Joe Jackson swing and Babe swing side by side within 1-3 years of one another...

TWO TYPE 1 CONLONS BTW...AND TWO OF THE GREATS IN MY COLLECTION.

Great Conlon photos Ben. The Jackson photo is a great addition to that collection of yours

Though I would normally take this opportunity to make fun of Ben in some way, for now I'll pass.

I will allow myself, however, to say that his Ruth photo collection is pretty much becoming the best on this planet. And that goes double for his shots of Ruth from the ol' Red Sox days. While the quantity might not be a large number, in terms of the importance of the image and the photographers associated with each shot, I can't think of anyone who has it cherry-picked better than Mr. Weingarten. He's definitely got a great eye. And, he's a good person to boot. Hanging out with him, Phil and Danny every time the National comes around is usually my favorite getaway of the year.

I would rather you just make fun of me.. I feel weird now.

Thank you Graig..you are a swell guy and a dear friend....gosh that was hard for me to say.

Anyway.... the national was awesome this year. It was full of many stories as in years past and hopefully many more to come. I hope I can find more Ruths...Now GO GET ROSIE!

I have already posted this in the September pickup thread so I apologize for the dupe post.

HOWEVER.. I thought the background on this game was really cool and really was unaware of it(star spangled banner/war/sutout by the babe ect). The photo, has the flag in the bottom right corner too which is a cherry on top. The photo is just over 5x7 matted like this below but does have a corner clip on upper left.

I am going to frame this one and looking for suggestions. Ayone??

Also, here is the background of game for those of you who missed the sept pickup post.



BABE RUTH TYPE 1 PHOTO OF 1918 WS, GAME 1. Ruth pitched this game(1-0 shutout). This series was the last one Boston Won for many years as we all know(HENCE-THE CURSE OF RUTH).

This had a bunch of black press ink/paint that came right off and matted out to this(just over 5x7). I am VERY happy with the result. I am not sure if I have seen an original of this other than this copy so VERY happy that it cleaned up! A great piece of history that I wil now protect

WIKIPEDIA:
"Game 1 of the 1918 World Series marked the first time "The Star Spangled Banner" was performed at a major league game. During the seventh inning stretch, the band began playing the song due to the fact the country was involved in World War I. The song would be named the national anthem of the United States in 1931, and during World War II its playing would become a regular pregame feature of baseball games and other sporting events. The winning pitcher of Game 1 was none other than Babe Ruth, who pitched a shutout.

1918 would be the last Red Sox World Series Championship until 2004. The drought of 86 years was often attributed to the Curse of the Bambino. The alleged curse came to be when the Red Sox traded the superbly talented but troublesome Babe Ruth (who was instrumental in their 1918 victory) to the New York Yankees for cash after the 1919 season."
