Posted By: <b>bob w</b><p>This is the original caption for your Ruth photo. It was on Corbis.<br /><br />Title: Babe Ruth and Friends Conversing<br /><br />Original caption: New York City: Dodgers' Quartette Eludes The Heat With Song. Despite the broiling sun, this Brooklyn Dodgers' quartette burst into song and forgot about the heat as they relaxed at the Polo Grounds, August 16th, where the Dodgers beat the Giants, 7-3. Left to Right: Tuck Stainback, Buddy Hassett, Kiki Cuyler and Babe Ruth.

Posted By: <b>David Atkatz</b><p>Ruth's last job in professional baseball was as a Dodger coach. (Note the 1939 World's fair patch on his left sleeve.)<br />He quit when Durocher was made manager.
