1925 Was the low point of Babe Ruth's career. Injury, illness, a fight with his manager and a down year in general led many to believe his career was over. The offered image captures Ruth at this low point of his career but with a special visitor by his side, the Heavyweight Champion of the World Jack Dempsey. The only man who could challenge Ruth's supremacy atop the sporting world, but even he had to ask for an autograph in the presence of Ruth! A special image from the Christy Walsh syndicate that we have never seen before. The image is clear and bold but with some creasing and chipping to the edges. One of the best Ruth images of its kind we have seen!
