        @daveshorr @BeschlossDC No, actually "Base Ball." Interesting that Babe Ruth spells it with two words, the same way Jane Austen did.

        @stannieholt @BeschlossDC it means he peaked at 30 in an era when many players retired at 30.

        @BeschlossDC Do you think he filled it out himself? Script in the blanks looks different from the signature (cf. the initial Gs).
