Babe Ruth

A 1991 Conlon TSN Babe Ruth '27NY card #110 has a book value of about $1.00 in near/mint -mint condition. Professionally graded cards will sell for more. Condition is important.

Common flaws with baseball cards include: rounded edges, creases, off centered, and faded color. Any or all flaws will devalue the card significantly.

It has been said that Babe Ruth's illness during spring training of 1925 was caused by binging on hot dogs and soda pop before a game. According to the related link, "Babe Ruth once ate 12 hot dogs & had 8 bottles of soda between games of a double header. He was reportedly rushed to the hospital after the game with a severe case of indigestion."

While we have no historical information on the volume of hot dogs Babe Ruth has consumed in his lifetime, we can compare it to some statistics provided by the National Sausage and Hot Dog Council.

The National Sausage and Hot Dog Council estimates Americans eat 7 billion hot dogs during peak season, from Memorial Day to Labor Day. That can be broken down to 818 hot dogs per second. Much of that consumption occurs at various sporting events. Major League Baseball's ballpark's will sell approximately 30 million hot dogs in a season. That is enough to round the bases 41,667 times. Also, interesting to note, an average hot dog vendor will sell approximately 150 hot dogs per game and 10,000 to 12,000 hot dogs per season.

While the council isn't able to give you an exact figure on how many hot dogs each person eats (everyone is different and has different tastes) they can estimate that if 20 billion hot dogs are consumed by Americans in one year, it can be broken down to about 70 hot dogs per person per year.

Babe Ruth died when he was 53 years old. If we multiply 53 by 70 it equals 3,710 hot dogs consumed over the course of his lifetime.

I think Babe Ruth is kind of mean because he thought Jackie Mitchell could not play baseball and he said baseball is a man's game, not her game.

Because he is a part of history. Just like we learn in school about Columbus and Henry VIII and World War I because they are part of history, Babe Ruth is relevant because he is a large part of baseball history due to the records he set, the image he portrayed, and the era that he played. He will be relevant as long as baseball exists as will Jackie Robinson, Lou Gehrig, Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Cy Young, and countless others because of the same reasons. Even Mark McGwire and Barry Bonds will be relevant 75 years from now because of what they did. It may not be the type of relevance that makes baseball look good but they will still be talked about.

Its one of the rarest Babe Ruth cards and lower grades go for over $5000 with good grades reaching $30,000 due to scarcity and the photo is one of the Babe in his Boston Red Sox uniform with him pitching before he became known as a batter.

Inexperienced.

Next she turned professional and began touring the country, exhibiting her prowess in track, swimming, tennis, baseball, and even billiards. In 1935 Zaharias took up golf and excelled at that, too, winning 82 tournaments in a 20-year career. She died of cancer in 1956. Her autobiography, This Life I've Led, was published in 1955.

Zaharias claimed she earned the nickname 'Babe' for Babe Ruth after hitting five home runs in one baseball game... She married professional wrestler George Zaharias in 1938... The Babe Zaharias Museum opened in Beaumont, Texas in 1976... Zaharias was played by actress Susan Clark in the 1975 TV movie Babe. The next year Clark played the title role in the TV movie Amelia Earhart... Golfer Annika Sorenstam played in a men's professional tournament, The Colonial, in 2003 -- making her the first woman to play a PGA tournament since Zaharias played in the 1945 Los Angeles Open.

That was the famous bear hug because Gehrig had Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, which made him "unfit" to play baseball. He and Ruth had a falling out for the previous seven year because of an unintentional insult from Gehrig's mother. Gehrig was dying and the hug was a public sign of the end of the feud before Lou Gehrig passed away as not to end on bad terms.
