Type 1 Ruth Photos and other misc items

[EYECOLLECTVINTAGE]

Up for your consideration is one of the most exquisite programs that we have ever had the priviledge of offering to the public.

This is a scarce example of a 1920 Chicago White Sox program in which Joe Jackson faced off against Babe Ruth for one of the final times ever. This was Babe Ruth's first year as a New York Yankee and Shoeless Joe Jackson's final year as a Chicago White Sox (He was banned from baseball).

This example shows some wear however still displays phenomenolly. Please note that we only took 4 photos of this program as this piece of baseball history*is extremely fragile

Although the scorecard portion is not scored, we are confident that this program is from*the August 1-4 series.

We were able to figure this out by identifying Strunk on the White Sox roster. Since Strunk was added to the roster after July 23rd, the only possible games that this program could be from is the August 1-4 series and The September 16-18 series. Once we figured this out, we then matched the lineups of both teams to the final game of their previous series and the only series in which Babe Ruth batted cleanup prior to meeting the White Sox was the July 28-31 series at the St. Louis Browns.

This program is absolutely loaded with Hall of Famers along with one of the most iconic baseball figures ever... Shoeless Joe Jackson.

Hall of Famers include Red Faber, Eddie Collins, Ray Schalk and Babe Ruth.

It is worth noting that during this series, Babe Ruth hit his 38th round tripper of the season and the 87th of his young career.

A true historical baseball artifact from a time when baseball was just a game.
