Where it all started, St. Marys playing field. Also where Babe hit is one and only home run in the minor leagues, Toronto. On that day he was also pitching, allowed Toronto only one base hit, bloop single.

The sale of the century, any century. Some have actually tried to put a positive spin on Harry Frazee's sale of Babe, there is none not from the baseball angle. Harry pickled up some bucks but this sale and then following sales of other good Bosox players changed the landscape of the game.
Bosox, cream of the AL going down and the so so Yankee team now on the rise. Check out stats for 1919, Babe led both leagues in a great number of offensive stats, now Harry sends him packing, because he was a bad boy. Also, the Yanks loan Harry 300,000.00+ dollars and Harry puts up Fenway Park as collateral. Possible, shoud Harry default on the loan, the Yanks not only have Babe Ruth but maybe even Fenway park.

Just another indication of his popularity with the public. He is a ball player, not an actor, no stage act and yet he is paid the highest sum ever for any individual stage act including the biggest show business stars in that time.
He has no act, just stand on stage and be Babe Ruth. His first appearance on the West coast he is a hit, comes on stage and they stand and cheer for 5 minutes. After one show, "he is arrested and booked," released after posting bond for violating the Child Labor Law.

Hi-
I just acquired this snapshot at the Wilmington MA card show along with some really cool Cobb snapshots. It has 27 written on the back (along with scrapbook residue). I am amazed at what everyone has posted thus far! Alan Elefson aelefson@hotmail.com
