Magnificent vintage matte-finish 10 x 8 photo of Ruth seated with several members of the 1932-1933 All America Board of Baseball, signed and inscribed to Pittsburgh Sun-Telegraph sportswriter Harry Keck in fountain pen, "Regards to my fellow Board Member, Harry Keck, Dec 17-1933, Babe Ruth." In fine condition. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from Beckett Authentication Services. During the late 1920s, Babe Ruth's agent Christy Walsh came up with the idea of creating the All America Board of Baseball, a council designed to annually honor the game's best players at each position. With Ruth as Chairman of the Board, a panel of ten sportswriters (one from each Major League city) were tasked with selecting an All America Baseball Team. If selected as a recipient of the award, said ballplayer received a certificate signed by Ruth and the panel of sportswriters. A notable photograph that preludes the introduction of baseball's All-Star tradition. Pre-certified Beckett Authentication.
