NOTES:

 This is a 1950s Babe Ruth pen, sold to raise money for the Babe Ruth League Baseball Program. The Babe Ruth league founded in 1951 was originally named Little Bigger League, until The program was renamed in 1954 when Claire Ruth, Babe Ruth’s widow, who had learned of the merits of the organization and its tremendous growth, met with the administrators. She subsequently gave the organization permission to change its name to Babe Ruth League. She has been quoted as saying, “Babe Ruth was a man who loved children and baseball; he could receive no greater tribute than to have a youth baseball program named after him.”. The pen which sold for $1.00, has the Sportsmanship code of Babe Ruth Baseball written on the back. In 1999 the Babe Ruth league named their 12 & Under Division - Cal Ripken Baseball. Cal Ripken Jr. was a graduate of the Babe Ruth program, which currently ranks as the premier amateur baseball and softball program in the world.
