It was box seats for Mrs. Bambino #1 at the start of the 1925 baseball season. Seated with her daughter and Mrs. C.C. White, Helen Ruth seems to be impervious of the photographer plying his trade. Perhaps her thoughts are back in rural Massachusets where she managed to drag the Babe to keep him away from being himself in New York. Their marriage lasted but another year. Rare visual credited to Bain News Service dated April 16,1925. EX 5X7” photo with small amount of corner damage. Great glimpse of sports society life in the roarin’ 20’s.
