Complete issue of the Omaha Bee-News from August 12, 1929, 14 pages, 17 x 22.5, featuring a story in the sports section headlined, "Ruth Crashes 500th Homer as Yanks Lose." The story notes that Ruth offered an officer at the ballpark $20 to help retrieve the milestone baseball. In fine condition, with light edge toning, binding slits to the left edge, and a bit of paper loss to the lower left corner. Ruth became the first player in history to reach the 500 home run mark, a feat thought next to impossible just a decade earlier.
