Up for sale is a beautiful vintage original 1948 Louisville Slugger promotional advertisement featuring Babe Ruth and William Bendix from The Babe Ruth Story, a Roy Del Ruth production.

This historic piece was printed on heavy stock paper as part of Louisville Slugger’s marketing campaign celebrating Babe Ruth, “The Bat of Champions.” The ad features a great image of Ruth in a Yankees uniform giving batting tips to actor William Bendix, along with a facsimile telegram inset.
