Babe Ruth hit more homers than the other 35 players born on this date 714-687. Amazing stat is that the next five on the list for most homers were all Pirates players for a stretch, Richie Zisk, Dale Long, Smoky Burgess, Glenn Wright and Pedro Alvarez. Not exactly a group of no names.
I don't have any Ruth cards, but I have something I like a little more. The bat William Bendix used(and took home) in the Babe Ruth Story. His niece(a family friend) gave it to me when I was eight

HBD to The Babe, Ronald Reagan and my wife.
I'm a big fan of all 3!

Greatest Player Ever
Not only was he the greatest, setting pitching and hitting records, not only did he popularize the homerun-- arguably the quintessential symbol of the American ethos-- but the man had volcanic charisma. Somehow little kids today even know his name.

One of the interesting-not trying to be morbid-quirks. Babe Ruth was born on this date and Ralph Kiner passed away today.
