0.00% chance it is 60+ years old. Can see that it’s 80s material. You and Mark are spot on.

We have Junior and Senior Babe Ruth leagues in NJ, they used to be alternatives to American Legion baseball. But pretty much every league has gotten crushed by pay-to-play tournament travel ball (which I loathe).

I would imagine travel ball is akin to AAU basketball. Times have changed….not always for the good.

As a college recruiter, attending these events was only slightly more enjoyable than having root canal …

Still a cool little piece of memorabilia for someone especially if they played in the league
And great price for some young kid who wants to or is into Babe Ruth to put on his/her wall
