Babe Ruth's most famous endorsement
was with Redtop Beer, which he promoted
during his time with the New York
Yankees. Ruth's contract with the
Yankees in 1922, included an addendum
addressing Babe Ruth's off-field
behavior, particularly his alcohol
consumption and late-night activities.
His endorsement of Redtop Beer was a
significant part of his public image,
making him the ideal pitchman.
In 1957 Redtop issued a "Hall Of Fame" beer sign which showcases the Babe
in a full batting pose. The sign
measures about 11 by 16 inches and the
statue almost 8 inches tall is often
sold on ebay by itself. These Signs
were distributed to Bars by Redtop beer
to hang in their establishment.
The back plate, at the top reads “Red Top Hall of Fame Sports Series
Number One” - followed by a "George
Herman "Babe" Ruth" career biography -
"Redtop Brewing Co. Cincinnati Ohio,
The Embosograph Corp. Of Illinois,
Chicago, Illinois, Patent Pending -
Copyright 1957" An Embosograph is a
type of sign or display that features
embossed (raised) images and text,
often used in advertising or for
decorative purposes. These signs are
typically made of cardboard or another
rigid material and may incorporate a
metallic design for added visual
appeal.
The very bottom reads: "This display remains the permanent property of
the Red Top Brewing Company and is
intended for use only as installed by a
Redtop Representative.
( Code No.
222R)"
