Cover of How to Knock Home Runs by Babe Ruth
Description
A color slide of the booklet cover for "How To Knock Home Runs" by Babe Ruth. The tan cover features a full-length illustration of Ruth preparing to take a left-handed swing. He wears a white uniform and hat with black stirrups and a belt. The top third of the page includes the book title over two lines in capital letters, "HOW TO KNOCK HOME RUNS." Ruth's head partially obscures the M and E of "HOME," and his baseball bat extends to the top edge of the E. The byline "by Babe Ruth" is to the right of Ruth's hands, with his name in cursive. The subtitle appears underneath him, with "AND OTHER" between his legs and "TIPS TO BATTERS" in a slightly larger type along the bottom. Customers could order the booklet by sending in box tops of puffed wheat cereal from Quaker Oats Company. Information written on the physical slide reads, "How to Knock Home Runs" See ruthba01_197, ruthba01_245, and ruthba01_277.
