Babe Ruth Signed 1928 World Champions Dinner Seating List.
The January 4, 1928 World Champions Dinner sponsored by the Madison Square Garden Club drew everybody who was anybody in sports. This stately and monumentally rare seating list from the banquet and dinner at the Hotel Commodore is pencil signed by Babe Ruth. Also signed by Gene Tunney and Bill Tilden
"The Babe" was just coming off his 1927 Yankees World Series title with the New York Yankees, having hit .356 with 164 RBI and of course this was also his famous sixty home-run season. William "Bill" Tilden had already won seventeen various tournaments ranging from Wimbledon to the Davis Cup before this dinner and certainly earned his place on the cover.
Meanwhile, Gene Tunney was reigning World Heavyweight Champion in both 1926-1927, and would repeat again in 1928. The cover has separated from the booklet but would be perfect to mat and frame, or encapsulate, on its own.
