COVID19 online poker game reveals a Babe Ruth auto

Since we can't get together and lie (and play cards), the normal group of guys I play with have switched to online and a few new guys that don't live in town have started to play. The other night, as the game was ending, we were talking sports and I mentioned my card collection and one guy says, "oh, you might like to see this". He pulls out the attached and holds it up the camera and says his relative was an umpire for the game and got an autograph. It looks like the Yankees did a summer barnstorming tour on the day and year of the ticket. What do you all think about the auto? I told him I would ask around and, well, I'm asking around.

    Taken directly from the SABR website

    "The following summer the entire Yankees team, known as Murderers' Row, returned to St. Paul for an exhibition game. The Yankees beat the Saints, 9-8, on Wednesday, July 20, 1927."

    The ticket and story sound authentic!!

    I am on a budget and I am not afraid to use it!!

    There is also a NW Umpires association still in existence and their website is touting their 100th anniversary. Your buddy may want to try and contact them for info on his relative so that he can obtain even more provenance to increase the value of that ticket stub/auto

    interesting info.........

    Roy Campanella, Leo Durocher, Lefty Gomez and Duke Snider were among some future major leaguers who played for the Saints. Hall of Fame inductees who managed the St. Paul Saints were Walter Alston in 1948 and 1949, and Charles Comiskey from 1895 to 1899.
