Ruth issues as a Brave

[conor912]

All I could think of was '35 Goudey and the R311 team shot.

What else is out there?

Difficult to think of another....

There are some pins also such as the 1935 Quaker Oats or the Jordan Marsh ones.

I believe the main issues with Ruth as a Brave was that he was old and overweight.

It really is too bad he didn't make it into the 36 Goudey set. That would have been a cool card.

Here’s the Jordan Marsh along with a newspaper clipping.

Did anyone else see that headline and immediately think of coke and hookers?

Also not a legit issue. A Type 2 that shows him in a Braves uniform .

Well since we have veered off of cards. I will share my 2 Babe Ruth scorecards as a Brave. Scorecards from Ruth's brief time with the Braves are not easy to find. These 2 have Ruth facing Dizzy Dean. Ruth did not manage a single hit in the 2 games with 2 strikeouts in 6 at bats. Dizzy on the other hand Homered in the Braves home game May 5th 1935. The second game in St Louis was May 18th and Featured the full Gas House Gang Lineup Martin Frish Medwick Durocher with Dean on the mound. Quite the lineup at that point in the season the 9 players in the lineup were hitting .314 .... wow..
