The team photo is on an RPPC, i matched the faces up what with what i thought were matches using a known team photo example i found online. the uniforms look to have what looks like the letter "B" as the logo but it's not what i found online as their logo? i look forward to reading your comments.

thx

So where is Babe Ruth??

Not there.

Sorry, not seeing a match with that guy at all.
Maybe perhaps possibly back row far right.
:confused:

Babe Ruth’s face is unmistakable. There is nobody that even comes close to resembling Ruth in that photo.

Quick question, do you wear glasses?

I thought I immediately eliminated my original post using the add/delete content option but I guess it did not update to remove the content.

I was originally referring to the 2nd from left of top row of individual players which is clearly Ruth and then realized the question was about the team photo.

Ruth is not in the team photo as others have already stated.

It was an "oops" due to not reading the post clearly.

Just got new glasses but not blind.

Babe had a rounder face than this guy. Also, I'm not sure that logo is a "B." Looks more like an "R" or a "P" with something smaller inside (maybe a "B" or an "8"). But also, there are several different caps in the photo, and the guy you designate as Babe has a "Y" on his cap.

He is Not in the photo.

But still a great photo

That does not makes sense and is possible

The Babe used a Polaroid

Babe took at least a million photos like this. Not that special.

Wow that is interesting I never knew that he was a photographer and took a million of these. That is a lot of polaroids he used.

Sweet

Babe was so prolific a photographer that I don't collect them. I stick to Joe Jackson water colors.

You are correct but those water colors are in such demand and supply scare the prices are beyond me :(
