A classic Ruth pose - following through on a massive swing, eyes lifted to follow the ball on its long flight, bulky body fused in a way that marshaled every ounce of his power into the cut - makes for one of the best Ruth-at-bat photos ever. This incredible 8x10" photo (EX-MT) owns an even more impressive inscription from the man himself. In rich, black fountain pen Babe has written, “To A Lovely Person Barbara Courts-Sincerely, Babe Ruth.” His mark, one of the finest you’ll find, is strong, crisp, and deserving of a technical grade of “9” out of possible “10”.
