Description: Best 1927 reprint newspaper BABE RUTH hits 60th HOME RUN for the New Single Season Record - inv # generic SEE PHOTO----- COMPLETE 8-page full size newspaper reprint (23" x 17") of the Los Angeles Herald (CA) dated Sept 30, 1927. It has a huge banner displayable headline announcing that NY Yankee star Babe Ruth has set a new single season Home Run Record of 60 home runs in one season. This is a 'same day' headline of this great event in baseball history. This is a great item for educational purposes (read the exciting coverage of Babe Ruth when he broke the single season record). It makes a perfect newspaper to frame at an affordable price (the original has a retail value of over $1,000). George Herman Ruth, Jr. (February 6, 1895 – August 16, 1948), also known as "Babe", was an American Major League baseball player from 1914-1935. Although he spent most of his career as an outfielder with the New York Yankees, Ruth began his career as a successful starting pitcher for the Boston Red Sox. In 1919, while playing for the Boston Red Sox he hit 29 home runs to break Ned Williamson's record for most home runs in a single season. After Ruth was traded to the NY Yankees in 1920, he hit 59 home runs in 1921 then beat his own single season home run record in 1927 with 60. It stood as the single season home run record for 34 years. This is a reprint of the BEST displayable headline newspaper I have ever seen of BABE RUTH setting the single season home run record of 60 home runs in 1927. Excellent condition. STEPHEN A.
