GUY T. BUSH 1935 PITTSBURGH PIRATES NATIONAL LEAGUE PLAYER CONTRACT

THIS ORIGINAL CONTRACT WAS GIVEN TO ME BY MY DADS FRIEND OVER THIRTY YEARS AGO. HE WAS FROM PITTSBURGH, HE TOLD ME HE WAS A FRIEND OF GUY BUSH WHICH IS HOW HE OBTAINED THE CONTRACT

JUST RECENTLY FOUND IT WHILE GOING THROUGH MY COLLECTIBLES.

I WAS SURPRISED WHEN I DISCOVERED BUSH’S HISTORIC CONNECTION TO THE MOST FAMOUS BASEBALL PLAYER IN THE HISTORY OF THE GAME, BABE RUTH.

WHILE PITCHING FOR THE PITTSBURGH PIRATES, BUSH GAVE UP RUTH’S 714 AND FINAL HOME RUN MAY 25th 1935 AT FORBES FIELD

. On May 25, the Pirates played the Braves in one of Babe Ruth\'s final games. Ruth put on a performance, collecting four hits including three home runs and knocking in six runners.

The first home run shot came off pitcher Red Lucas, while the last two came off Bush. # 713 and # 714

The last home run was Ruth\'s career home run #714, and was a mammoth of a shot. It was the first home run to clear the right field grandstands at Forbes Field and was reportedly measured as a 600-foot (180 m) bomb.[1] It was the last home run — in fact, the last hit of any kind — in Ruth\'s major league career, which ended less than a week later.

Bush later described the Babe\'s final blast: \"He [Ruth] got ahead of the ball and hit it over the triple deck, clear out of the ballpark. I\'m telling you, it was the longest cockeyed ball I ever saw in my life
