Babe Ruth’s “called shot game” is one of the most iconic pre-television baseball moments in the history of the sport. Although there has been controversy over the years as to which direction Ruth truly pointed his bat, many baseball historians still believe he pointed his bat to the center flagpole where his 400+ foot home run flew to. This Courtley Men’s Toiletries oversized 26"x40" easel back store display sign has been professionally framed and mounted. The circa 1940s display reads “A Great Moment In Masculinity”. Light wear throughout due to storage. The piece in total measures approximately 48”x36”. This item will require additional shipping charges due to size, weight and fragility.
