Beautiful c. 1920 photograph of young Babe Ruth of the New York Yankees as she poses with a man in full military uniform and points to the spot on his favorite bat where he likes to hit the ball. A bold image in great shape that is from the archives of Underwood and Underwood, this is not dates but clearly dates to Ruth's early days with the Yankees. There is an embossed "File Copy" stamp on the front and a small spot of wear on the far right, but otherwise it presents really well. Offered here for the first time ever!
