"In 1947, when I was fifteen years old, Babe Ruth, who was hired by the sponsor, Ford-Mercury, was going around to American Legion All-Star games to present the MVP trophy to the winner. Babe Ruth personally gave me this beautiful big trophy as the game's most valuable player that year. I still have the trophy, and that's one of my wonderful memories about baseball." - Ed Mayer
