History of the Yankees in 25 objects Part 6

After taking a long break, today is part 6.

Number 6: Babe Ruth's Hall of Fame plaque



Babe Ruth was one of the greatest players in MLB history. From 60 homeruns in a season to hitting 714 in his career to maintain an amazing .342 batting average, he had many great accomplishments. Ruth was not only a great batter, he pitched for eight full season with an ERA of about 2.25. He compiled ninety-two wins over this time period. He also pitched in single games in 1930 and 1933, winning each time.  He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1936. His plaque has a simple design, but yet is still beautiful. There is great detail work on his face.

You can find Part 5 of the series here.
