Nearly a century after his major league debut in 1914 - and over six decades since his passing in 1948 - few figures remain in the American iconography like one George Herman "Babe" Ruth. Yes, many of the stories of his off-field "exploits" were true, and no, the candy bar wasn't named after him. But there is no denying the ability of the man who was named by the Associated Press as not just the Baseball Player, but the "Athlete-of-the-Century." This item is a 4x6" index card, with the blank side featuring an image of The Bambino's plaque from the Baseball Hall of Fame, placed above his signature on the blank side. The signature, in Ruth's crystal-clear penmanship in blue ink says "Sincerely Babe Ruth." It is PSA/DNA Certified, NM-MT 8. To this day, The Babe remains among the all-time elite in many offensive statistical categories, including home runs (3rd), batting average (10th), runs batted in (2nd), runs scored (4th), and walks (3rd).
