Item Description
8x10" thin board w/fully painted art which is signed at lower right "Jorge S." Interesting image of Ruth batting and wearing a NY Giants uniform. This relates to a charity game he played in 1923 during his barnstorming tour. For that game only he played as a member of the Giants in a game against the Baltimore Orioles. The following day he was back w/the Yankees playing in the first game of the 1923 World Series against the rival Giants. The Yankees won the series 4-2. The detailed art includes full stadium crowd in the bkg. and a small sign reading "Welcome Giants." Title at top right is "George Babe Ruth Outfielder" with New York pennant below this. Wonderful depiction of a lesser know event in his illustrious career. Exc. From the Richard Merkin Collection and comes with Hake's COA.
