The New York Yankees outfield did not change much during the late 1920's, and why should it have! When you have Babe Ruth, Earle Combs and Bob Meusel out there, just write their names on the lineup card and relax! The trio spent six consecutive seasons side by side with Ruth and Meusel spending nine together. As a trio it is hard to imagine a more formidable group for a longer period of time. In 1927 for example (about the time period this photo was taken) the batting averages were Ruth .356, Combs .356, and Meusel .337... Not Bad! The offered image however is more than just a photograph of Babe Ruth, Earle Combs and Bob Meusel, it is a work of newspaper art with a photograph serving as the focal point while incredible pen and ink sketches adorn the background, done by an unknown but incredibly skilled artist at the Seattle Post Intelligencer. It is hard to imagine the time and skill it took to create such a fantastic work of art, but this unique specimen is by the greatest piece of baseball newspaper art we have ever offered! A special piece of history that is being offered here for the first time ever and one that should be hanging in a museum or gallery!
