Most baseball historians know the importance and controversy surrounding the Mexican League in 1946. They poached many big names from the major leagues and threatened them with expulsion, but that did not stop the biggest name in history from flying down to catch a game and maybe even a spot as an executive in the league. Here the great Babe Ruth boards a plane in New York and heads down across the border for some talks with Bernardo Pascual, the muscle behind the new league. An important image from the life of Ruth and one that tells a seldom talked about chapter in his life.
