Ready for the 1916 World Series: Boston vs. Brooklyn...

Item # 716958 ·

EVENING TRIBUNE, San Diego, California, Oct. 6, 1916  Pages 8 and 9 have some articles on the upcoming World Series, to begin the following day. Among the articles: "They Talk About Boston Pitching  But---Dodgers' Staff Outranks 'Big 5' ". Within the article is: "...But Brooklyn has three hurlers that outrank Boston's leader, Babe Ruth..." with additional mention of Ruth in these articles. There is also a chart of the pitcher's and their records for the season.
Babe Ruth would only pitch in game two, throwing 13 shutout innings, winning the game 2-1. But he went 0 for 5 at the plate. This was just his 2nd full season in Major League Baseball.
Complete in 12 pages and in uncommonly nice, clean condition.
