Chapter 03 · Documentary record

The Ruth paper trail.

Resulting from over a decade and thousands of hours of research in dozens of research libraries, archives and museums, Storm Glenn has discovered more than 5 example article news reports never seen nor known to exist by modern researchers. These are from sources not available online. To determine the accuracy of Glenn’s discoveries, all of these records have been subsequently examined by top Babe Ruth historians. Each and every record has been authenticated by these historians to be genuine accounts of baseball games played by a teenaged Babe Ruth.
