Absolutely stunning c. 1928 portrait photograph of Babe Ruth from the New York Yankees and capturing the superstar at the ballpark in uniform. The image is an ode to Charles Conlon and is taken from an extreme close up position, creating a work of art that is among his best photographs we have ever taken. Issued by Underwood and Underwood and issued through the American League Service Bureau, this is a perfect 10/10 that is the only example of this photograph we have ever seen. An incredible work of baseball art, this has been encapsulated by PSA as a Type 1 and it ranks among the top handful of Ruth images we have ever offered to the public. A Hall of Fame worthy piece of baseball history that is sure to only increase in value over the years.
