Babe Ruth Poster Stamp


Description

A slide of a color poster stamp of Babe Ruth. Ruth wears a New York Yankees hat and home uniform, and he is shown in from the head and shoulders. He faces forward with his eyes looking to the left. He appears before a purple background in the center of a yellow arched frame, and the words "GEORGE HERMAN (BABE) RUTH" appear at the base of the frame. Two yellow bats cross diagonally behind the frame, with the knobs at the upper left and the ends at the bottom right. A tree limb crosses diagonally in the opposite direction. The yellow frame appears on a blue background, and the number 21 is in the upper right corner. A red border surrounds the blue background. The words "1839 CENTENIAL of BASEBALL 1939" are at the top, and "COMMEMORATIVE POSTER STAMPS" is at the bottom. Pictures of baseball equipment appear in the left and right areas of the red border.
