Already a fantastic Babe Ruth item, his signature on the front makes this 1944, comic book sized “Babe Ruth presents Spalding Sports Show” publication doubly desirable. Signed in blue fountain pen and rating a 9/10, the autograph rides vertically along right side of cover, where an illustrated photo of Babe standing before an NBC microphone with three young men listening intently to the batting champ, sets the tone. Open the booklet and on inside of cover is “a personal message from Babe Ruth,” as famous sports figures, facts and historical tidbits and events follow in comic book form. Book itself is EX, and is a real time capsule back to those heady days of the New York Yankees fabled reign with the Sultan of Swat.
