Who were Babe Ruth's pallbearers?
Waite HoytJoe Dugan ---- In the books that I have seen about Babe Ruth, that information is clouded if not simply not recorded for posterity. In the book Babe Ruth A Biography it is stated that there were 8 official pallbearers, all of whom were former teammates. The two that are 'remembered' are Joe Dugan and Waite Hoyt because of the statement supposedly uttered by Hoyt when Dugan said, at the funeral, "I'd give a hundred dollars for a beer", to which Hoyt supposedly replied "So would the Babe". As with almost everything with Babe Ruth, one must wonder whether this 'conversation' ever took place or whether it was part of the lore that always surrounded him. The book also states there were 57 honorary pallbearers that included politicians, former ballplayers, and Hollywood stars, one of which was William Bendix who played Ruth in the movie The Babe Ruth Story. Connie Mack & Whitey Whitt are also mentioned as pallbearers in Fred Lieb's Baseball as I Have Known It.
What is the value of a Babe Ruth card with a fake atograph?
The value depends on which card it is, and what you mean by fake autograph. If you mean a facsimile autograph, a copy of Babe Ruth's signature that is part of the printing of the card, then the value of the card will rely on the year, and the set the card is from. If you mean someone wrote on the card "Babe Ruth" then the value of the card will be drastically lowered in value, if any value at all.
