Lot 5: 1935 Boston Braves Team Photo with Babe Ruth by Thorne
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
Amazing 1935 Boston Braves team photo with newly arrived Babe Ruth. It was shot by Thorne who was the official Yankee team photographer. He shot this in Florida during Spring Training most likely because Ruth had just joined the Boston NL franchise after leaving the Yankees. Photo is 9 1/2" x 6 3/4" and had been previously torn and re-affixed on the back side with very old tape. Image itself is in fine condition. It is signed by Elbie Fletcher who is also pictured as is Rabbit Maranville. Great team shot!
