This Babe Ruth plastic model kit was
part of Aurora's "Great Moments in
Sport" series. There were 6 different
kits that were issued in 1965 which
also included Willie Mays, Jack
Dempsey, Johnny Unitas, Jim Brown, &
Jerry West. As Advertised in the 1965
issue of DC Comics Superman No. 181
"The Sultan of Swat establishes the
home run record that has never been
topped in a 154-game season. Babe Ruth
comes to bat against the Washington
Senators and bangs his 60th homer off
left-hander Tom Zachary, another Great
Moment in Sport -Sept. 30, 1927"
The kit includes an instruction sheet to assemble (1)Babe Ruth, (2)The
Cather, (3) The Umpire, and (4) The
final assembly; name plate, the base,
backdrop, Umpire, catcher, and Babe
Ruth. Page 4 features Great Moments in
Sport "The Babe Ruth Story" by Fred
Katz, Associated editor of Sport
Magazine. A Sport Magazine
advertisement is also included in the
box. When the model is fully assembled
it is reminiscent of a picture taken
after Ruth hit his 60th home run in
1927 (see below).
