What’s Rob Reading?

Baseball in 25 Objects: Babe Ruth's Underwear“Baseball in 25 Objects: Babe Ruth’s Underwear”
By John Thorn, Our Game

“For Babe Ruth, I could display a bat, an autographed ball, a jersey, his locker at the Baseball Hall of Fame. But he was the Sultan of Swag as well as Swat, and thanks to his agent, Christy Walsh, endorsed seemingly everything from candy bars to cigarettes to, well, underwear. Ruth was not the first ballplayer to endorse a product: that would be George Wright, portrayed in a poster for Red Stocking Cigars in 1874. Nor was he the first to be paid for the persuasive power of his celebrity: that would be Honus Wagner, who on September 1, 1905, gave the J.F. Hillerich & Son Company permission to use his name on its Louisville Slugger bats for a consideration of $75. (Pete Browning, the eponymous Louisville Slugger, never got a nickel from the bats named for him.)”
