Terms we think of as modern like "Selfies" and "Photo-Bombs" actually existed long ago, they just were not cool or trendy. People have been standing in front of mirrors to paint self portraits or crashing other peoples photographs long before smart phones, and here Babe Ruth is evidence of such an event. As Roger Peckinpaugh from the Yankees takes some swings for the photographer, a young first-year Yankee named George Herman "Babe" Ruth wanders into the background with bat in hand. Whether this was unintentional, or on purpose we will never know but what we have is the first evidence of a Baseball "Celebrity Photo Bomb" that we know of! Interesting image that captures a pivotal year in baseball history and the greatest player to ever grace the diamond in an awkward moment late in the season. Stamped on the back by NEA and dated September 30, 1920. Photo is in nice shape overall with some pinholes and some artistic tracing of the Peckinpaugh image (not Ruth). For the collector who wants a special image of Babe Ruth!
