Poignant 1948 photograph of Baseball Commissioner Happy Chandler as he poses with his arm around his young son and his other hand on the body of Babe Ruth as he and American League President William Harridge say goodbye to the greatest player who ever lived. A fantastic and artful piece of photography from noted lens man William C. Greene and stamped on the back, this is the only original example of this photograph we have ever seen and it remains here in fantastic condition overall.
