Beautiful sheet music for the song "Babe " dedicated to Babe Ruth as written by Charles Tobias and Peter De Rose. De Rose was a close friend of Ruth's he performed his hit song "Deep Purple" at Ruth's birthday parties for the last ten years of his life and Tobias was also a well-known songwriter author of "Those Lazy Hazy Crazy Days Of Summer " and "Don't Sit Under The Apple Tree (With Anyone Else But Me)." The song which suggested the game be renamed to "Babesball " was clearly penned in honor of a dying hero as Ruth would be gone the following year. Excellent display value with some minor wear at the corners and edges.
