Babe Ruth scrapbook volume 08 part 02

Datebetween 1927 and 1938
DescriptionThis volume covers the years between 1927 and 1938. One of the main topics is Ruth's contract negotiations. Articles and editorial cartoons explore the possibility of Ruth making 100,000 per season (articles cover the process and also the eventual signing). Tied closely to the contract negotiations are articles discussing the Babe's physical condition, with many cartoons satirize Ruth's physical shape. One article compares his weight and inches of girth for the current season and two prior. Also covered is Ruth's time as a first base coach for the Brooklyn Dodgers.
