Yeah, the Contact/BABIP is a problem on that card. In addition to all his home runs, the Babe had almost 1500 singles during his career, which is why he's 13th all-time in career batting average. Even in the 1928 season, which is one of his worst in terms of BABIP, Babe had 82 singles, 29 doubles, and 8 triples to go along with his 54 home runs. This card rates more like Roger Maris 1961 than Babe Ruth 1928.
