In one of the most important moments in baseball history, Harry "Chunky" Harris of the Associated Press was there. Perched next to Nat Fein in a weird position BEHIND a baseball icon as he said goodbye, he perfectly snapped Babe Ruth as he addressed Yankee Stadium shortly before his death. A large example with perfect clarity, this has stamps on the back from Wide World Photos (with permission from Harris) and the Metro Group, the image also has a sticker crediting Harris and the Associated Press as well. With a file stamp of 1949 it is absolutely within the time frame of a vintage 1 (Type 1) and presents well with one small paper scrape on Ruth's belt being the only flaw. This is the ONLY example of this photo from Harris that we have ever seen that is both off the original negative and within the right time frame, making it an important piece of baseball photography.
