Description by seller: “One Sheet (27″ X 41″) Style A. Sports related posters have enjoyed popular demand for many years, and none more so than those that actually feature real sports legends. This incredible one sheet depicts the greatest legend to ever play the game of baseball, the Sultan of Swat, George Herman Ruth, affectionately known as The Babe. During his career, Ruth was the best slugger the game had ever seen, and his fame led producers to feature him in several films. Some of those films, such as this one and another called Headin’ Home from 1920, cast him as the lead, while other films found him in cameos as in Harold Lloyd’s Speedy in 1928 and The Pride of the Yankees in 1942. He also did the Babe Ruth Baseball Series for Universal Pictures in 1932”.
