Significance of autographs (together v-valuable):
This box score game would be Babe Ruth’s final hurrah, hitting the last three of his 714 career home runs and having two players that played in the game and signed the game card … awesome! …
As for Woody Jensen, he had a solid nine-year career with a batting average of .285. While Gus Suhr was called up from the San Francisco Seals after a 1929 season in which he hit .381 with 51 home runs and 177 RBI, he had a ten-year career with a batting average of .279. And, while with the Pirates, Suhr would set the NL record for consecutive games played (822) … later broken by Stan Musial and currently held by Steve Garvey.
Note: The Babe played again the next day, fanning three times, but as most fans agreed in that blessed era, it was at times more exciting watching the Babe strike out than hitting a four-bagger. Babe retired four days later, 5-30-1935.
