Also included are three engraved plaques which include quotes from Charlie Root, Yankees coach Cy Perkins, and the 1933 Reach Baseball Guide with their take on whether Ruth actually pointed or not.

A unique tribute to Ruth's fabled home run inclusive of many collectible rarities. Includes LOA from JSA.
