cool Babe Ruth find on the dock of the 'bay

Love it, wish I saw it! I have several of these books, but not a 1915 one. Closest is 1913, when the tickets themselves were much smaller coupons than the larger tickets as you have in the 1915 one.

Here's my 1913 one - note the recipient. Not THE JFK (as we wasn't even born yet) but a relative.....

Pretty sure that's JFK's fathers or grandfather. Maybe?

It was actually a cousin of his father. I acquired a few items that originated from him. This gentleman held a elected government position in Boston as well. Unfortunately, he passed away suddenly, late in August 1913. The remaining tickets in the booklet are all from late August and September. I imagine he was a loyal fan (as was JFK's father, Boston Mayor Honey Fitz), and attended all of the games in the season with this booklet, up until his untimely passing.
