Babe Ruth was the greatest baseball player of all-time and here he is, posing during the most important year of his young career, 1920. Ruth had a lot to prove during his first year with the New York Yankees, after being sold for the highest amount ever paid for a baseball player and slamming a record 29 Home Runs the year before, he was expected to turn the hapless Yankees around. While a duplicate of his 1919 season would have been enough, he simply destroyed the American League to a level absolutely unimaginable in 1920. The offered image is a silver gelatin original and dated June 20, 1920. Ruth is looking trim and fit with a look of satisfaction and determination on his face as he poses for the camera. Photo has some wear and a few pinholes but the image of Ruth himself is unaffected and beautiful. Easily one of the top images of Ruth we have ever seen or offered, this photo also comes with a LOA from PSA as a "Type 1" as well full authentication from RMY Auctions. An investment quality piece of photography which captures the great Babe Ruth on the pinnacle of changing the world!
