Before Babe Ruth took his talents to the Boston Braves after the 1934 season, he announced he would simply retire from baseball. His sportswriter friends who adored him, took it upon themselves to organize testimonials and tributes for the star, one of which is seen here. Kirk Miller holds a massive certificate which was signed by the biggest sports fans in Washington DC to show their appreciation for the baseball icon. Issued by the International News and in great shape with a full paper caption as well.
