Recognize this image? Of course you do, it is one of the most famous Ruth images ever printed. It's no wonder Babe Ruth could hammer a baseball out of the park with ease, looking at the bare arms of the Yankee slugger on display in this news service photo stamped Feb 27, 1927. 8x10. Some minor editor marks along the margin and flecks of the same red grease pencil in the top half of the picture, do not take away from this terrifically "dis-arming" photo of the Bambino.
