Babe Ruth is considered to be one of the greatest to have played the game and his name is part of pop culture transcending the boundaries of baseball.
He’s clearly an icon on the field with his career statistics as a pitcher and more notably as a batter worthy of the Baseball Hall of Fame.
One of his 1933 Goudey baseball cards (PSA Graded 4) is up for auction, which ends Sept. 11, 2017 at 9:12 p.m. (click link to see eBay listing).
