Beschreibung:

Babe Ruth 1932 "Called Shot" Framed Display Including Signature And Ticket Stub The 1932 World Series wasn't much of a contest. New York steamrolled the Chicago Cubs, scoring 37 runs during a four game sweep. The series was one of the most bitter in history and is best remembered for Babe Ruth's infamous "Called Shot" during Game 3 at Wrigley Field. The offered shadowbox display recall's Ruth's legendary gesture through a collection of vintage artifacts that includes an original program from that Series (apparent VG), a WS Game 3 ticket stub (appt. EX), a vintage print from Esquire magazine, a rare stadium souvenir mini-bat, and autographs of Babe Ruth and Cub's pitcher Charlie Root who served up the pitch. Also included are three engraved plaques which include quotes from Charlie Root, Yankees coach Cy Perkins and the 1933 Reach Baseball Guide with their take on whether Ruth actually pointed or not. A unique tribute to Ruth's fabled home run inclusive of many collectible rarities. LOAs from PSA/DNA and JSA.
