Unique 1926 photograph of baseball superstar Babe Ruth as he poses with a game used bat and an oversized photo of himself that was presented to a small child. Judging by the catholic priest standing with Ruth and the boy, this might even be a trip back to St. Mary's for a photo op! Photo is a one of a kind image from the estate of Christy Walsh and it comes with a letter of provenance signed by his daughter in law in 2003. A fine silver gelatin image in great shape that is being offered publicly here for the first time as far as we know.
