NOTES:
 
   The Libbey Glass Co. produced Ten "Official All American Baseball Team" milk glasses to commemorate the 1839-1939 Baseball Centennial. They were distributed by Esso Oil as a souvenir at the 1939 World's Fair, Academy of Sport. The team was selected by Babe Ruth in collaboration with the All-America Board of Baseball, a committee of baseball writers in 1938. and used to commemorate the 1839-1939 Baseball Centennial. This was the seventieth time Ruth was involved in picking the All-America team of the year.

 The ten glasses each depicted a ballplayer in blue, with the player's facsimile autograph to the right. The opposite side has the official 1839-1939 Baseball centennial emblem.  The players produced listed here as Babe Ruth's chosen batting order were; Red Rolfe, 3B; Charlie Gehringer, 2B; Joe DiMaggio, CF; Jimmie Foxx, 1B; Mel Ott, RF; Joe Medwick, LF; Ernie Lombardi, C; Joe Cronin, SS; Red Ruffing, P; Paul Derringer, P.

 The All America Baseball team is featured in the Esso Baseball Handbook, 1839-1939 Baseball's 100th Anniversary Edition. Articles include: How to Pitch, by Paul Derringer; Batting Tips, by Joe Medwick; Advice to Rookie Catchers, by Ernest Lombardi; How to Play First Base, by Jimie Foxx; The Keystone Guardian, by Chas. Gehringer; Duties of a Shortstop, by Joe Cronin; Playing the Hot Corner, by "Red" Rolfe; Advice to Outfielders, by Mel Ott; Throwing from Outfield, by Joe DiMaggio.

 The back cover has an enrollment application to attend the School Of Baseball, at the 1939 New York World's Fair Academy Of Sports. The Esso Oil Company was a major sponsor of the Worlds Fair and the Academy of Sport, where the milk glasses were issued.
