Ruth spent the better part of 12 years at St. Mary’s until 1914, when he left at age 19 to sign with the Baltimore Orioles of the International League. After he joined the Yankees in 1920, he took the St. Mary’s band to major league ballparks to raise money to replace the main school building destroyed in a fire.

Postcard in great shape for being almost 100 years old, although somewhat miss-cut at the very bottom.
