1916 World Series Program From Babe Ruth’s Roommate
<p>The Red Sox won back-to-back World Series in 1915 and 1916. This program, from the latter Fall Classic, has no scorecard inside, some minor creasing, and a few tears to the edges. The back page shows the Red Sox team photo with Babe Ruth sitting on the grass in the middle. Boston knocked off the Brooklyn Robins in five games for their third title in five years. The program originates from the family of Dick Hoblitzell, Babe Ruth’s former roommate with the Red Sox.</p><p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Lelands is pleased to offer the collection of Babe Ruth’s former roommate, Dick Hoblitzell, in our 2019 Fall Classic sale. Hoblitzell started his career off with the Cincinnati Reds from 1908-14 and then closed his career out with the Boston Red Sox from 1914-1918. During his time with the Red Sox, he roomed with Babe Ruth on the road and became a two-time World Series Champion in 1915 and 1916. In 1918, Hoblitzell started the season off batting 1-for-25 and was then replaced by his former roommate Babe Ruth! Ranging from a 1915 World Champion Red Sox team signed baseball to game balls and Dick’s personal World Series programs, there is a little bit of everything in this “fresh to market” collection. Each lot sources from the family of Dick Hoblitzell and can be found in the “Dick Hoblitzell Collection” category of the current auction.</span></p>
