Default 6/28/10 Baltimore Sun Article: Who Is the Owner of this 1914 Ruth?

Interesting article on the troubles of the Babe Ruth Museum in Baltimore of finding the owner of their 1914 Baltimore News Ruth. Some factual errors, but still an interesting read.

The guy probably has no clue what he even owns..... if he works at a paint store, he probably isn't that well off. My guess is a sale will occur once he finds out.

I wish they would have posted a picture.

I saw the old display with the Ruth and assumed it was a reprint because it was stuck in a showcase in the corner with no big deal made about it.

So if his wife makes him pull his father's card from the museum and sell it off, does she also get to loan the museum his testicles to put on display in its place?

Sometimes in situations like this, "I'll have to talk to my wife" may also translate as "I finally get to buy that boat"
