Babe Ruth captivated the attention of the nation like no athlete before or since and no group gravitated toward him more than the small children. The worshipped Ruth like a god and followed his every move in the newspapers and saved their pennies for bleacher seats to catch a glimpse of the larger than life figure. Seen here arriving at Yankee Stadium for the first game of the year (exhibition) and surrounded by his fans, this is one of the coolest images of Ruth we have offered. He was finally a World Champion, had the highest batting average of his career at .393 and had a reason to be all smiles. Issued by Underwood and Underwood and in great shape with a paper caption on the back as well.
