In 1921, Baseball Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis suspended Babe Ruth and Bob Meusel for "barnstorming" after the Yankees' World Series victory. On March 27, 1922, during spring training, they all shook hands and made up. God knows what Landis would think of today's celebrations, both on and off the field.

In the off season, Babe Ruth spends some time with neighborhood kids, November 29, 1924. He told them how he started out in an orphanage and rose to become the legend he already was.

600+ Rare Century-Old Baseball Cards Found in Old Tobacco Tin
The collection includes a unique variety of vintage Babe Ruth cards and hundreds of rare baseball Hall of Famers.
A California man said he stumbled upon every baseball fans’ dream when he found an old tobacco tin at his father’s home.
According to a press release by Auction Monthly, a California-based company that evaluates and consigns sports memorabilia, a treasure trove of more than 600 cards “were discovered in a closet by a Northern California resident cleaning out his father's home” and are “some of the rarest vintage baseball cards from the 1920's.”
The post-World War I era cards will be available in an upcoming sale on the company’s website.

The early 1900's Pedro Cut Plug Tobacco tin was filled with "many different types of pre-war baseball cards from the 1920's era including strip baseball cards from 1919 to 1923 and rare 1924-26 Zeenuts cards that were distributed on the West Coast."
Some of the discovered cards of baseball legends include:
1919-21 W514 'Shoeless' Joe Jackson Nearly every player from the iconic 1919 'Black Sox' team 1921 E220 National Caramel Babe Ruth 1922 American Caramel E121 Babe Ruth 1919-21 Babe Ruth W514 1920 W519 Babe Ruth Ty Cobb 1922 American Caramel E121 1921 W516 Ty Cobb 1920 W519 George Sisler
According to the statement, the 'Shoeless' Joe Jackson card is "a very rare find." Jackson, a career .356 hitter, was part of the Black Sox scandal in 1919. He was one of eight Chicago White Sox players banned for life for allegedly throwing the 1919 World Series.
