1942 Rare photograph of Babe Ruth on the set of the film "Pride of the Yankees" and shaking hands with Gary Cooper in costume from his role as Lou Gehrig. A touching image, this is the first showing Ruth and Cooper in uniform together we have seen and it absolutely dates to the filming of the movie in 1942! The photo is trimmed a bit but looks fantastic despite some wear from editorial framing around the figures of Ruth and Cooper, but not affecting their faces. An incredible piece of baseball history offered here for the first time ever.
