Babe Ruth in a NY Giants' uniform?
 
I'm sure there's a good explanation and you're all the ones to let me know...

The listing says 1923... that can't be right, can it? Was McGraw thinking of signing him up? lol.

Anybody know the story behind this?

Here's the listing I got it from:

It may be from an exhibition game he played in for charity.

Babe does not look happy being in that Astros uniform.
