Charles Conlon photos are always inspiring. But this one is outstanding, even for a Conlon. Exceptional image is one of the classic photos of Ruth. The Babe is poised; bat cocked, his chin resting against his right shoulder, his eyes shooting darts out at the pitcher. It's hard to imagine Ruth's expression while at bat captured any better or clearer than here. What a classic Ruth! Conlon partial signature on verso as well as his handwriting. Couple of repaired tears, otherwise EX+. Photo is 4-1/2 x 9-1/8". From Ring Magazine Collection and comes with LOA.
