Babe Ruth scrapbook Volume 01 Part 02

Date1922

DescriptionThis volume continues with the year 1922, containing articles about Ruth's suspension for "barnstorming" after the post-season, Babe acting on the vaudeville stage in Cincinnati (Orpheum and Majestic Theater) and a publicity campaign aimed at kids was the "Find Babe Ruth Baseballs and Meet Him in Person" contest. One of the amusing anecdotes found in the volume is the story of an Advertising Club luncheon where Commissioner Landis and Ruth were in attendance. Ruth gave his speech where he made slight jabs at the commissioner, who took it all with a smile. At the end of the speech the commissioner said, "Fine, Babe, fine." To which the Babe famously remarked, "Thanks, Judge, but I have had about all the fines from you I want."
