1949 Weird photograph of Ruth Steinhagen as she appeared with her friend who was with her when she bought the gun she used to shoot baseball star Eddie Waitkus. The event would shock the sports world at the time and go down in history as the inspiration for the book and film "The Natural". This is a beautiful example in great shape, issued by the International News and stamped on the back
