1934 Embossed studio photograph of the American baseball team in the broadcasting room of a radio station in Tokyo, Japan during their world tour. Led by Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig (both in the photo), the team spread goodwill and baseball knowledge to the island and cemented the game of baseball as the most popular sport in Japan. The photo also includes a huge number of other stars and Hall of Famers like Moe Berg, Jimmie Foxx, Charlie Gehringer and others. A perfect 10/10, this is the finest image from the 1934 tour we have ever seen!
