A cast-molded bust of Babe Ruth created by artist Peter Rubino. Rubino partnered with former U.S. Senator Jack Rudolf (CT) to create busts of baseball players like Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle, Ty Cobb, and, of course, Ruth. The back of the bust reads Rudolf-Rubino Creations 1989. These items were typically limited to 5,000 pieces, but this particular piece is notated as A/P, showing that it is an artist's proof. This bust is 15" tall and weighs in at 7 pounds and 14 ounces.
