Sounds like Davis is a good man.

My bet: Someone will find a fault.

You took the very words out of my mouth.

that's excellent news...having gone to grad school in baltimore...I've been to the museum numerous times...and the ruth prookie is a great addition to an already fine little museum...in the hood!

What kind of a total ASS could say something bad about this guy...we'll soon find out!

[Cat]

So if he decided to retrieve it, and then sold it, would that have made him a bad man? Or, just a normal average every day man?

[ullmandds]

Cat...I'd say if he retrieved it and sold it...it'd make him like most men!!!

[barrysloate]

Of course it wouldn't make him a bad man if he sold it, but it's kind of refreshing to see someone say the money isn't important right now, and I would rather have people come and enjoy it. More often than not we don't see that.

[Matthew H]

Not only would I have sold it, the money would most likely be gone by now.

What a stand up guy, my hats off to him. Now, could the museum consider moving it away from the window? I wonder if the sunlight hits the card.

It would mean he doesn't love the hobby enough.

What about all the other Ruth collectors who *don't* loan their bats, uniforms, cards, posters, etc. to the Babe Ruth museum in Baltimore? I think what this guy did is pretty spectacular.
