1928 Photograph taken days after Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig won their second consecutive World Series showing the pair already donning their new jerseys and set for another barnstorming tour with the "Bustin babe's" and "Larrupin Lou's". Before setting out to conquer the west, they posed with the young home run champions of New York to give out some hardware and pose for some pictures. Ruth and Gehrig are in full uniform, as are the young winners, and all are surrounded by fans and curious onlookers. Images of Ruth and Gehrig together from this classic barnstorming tour are extremely popular and this one we have NEVER seen before in any form. Issued by the International News and stamped on the back with a full paper caption as well, this is a nearly perfect example that ranks among the best of the duo we have ever seen!
