Is this Babe Ruth?
 
Is this Babe Ruth on the cover? He had to be heavier than this in 1932…..

Guessing Bill Dickey or Earle Combs?

False advertising
 
Listed as Ruth on the cover on eBay…… probably why it’s not sold yet

It's Ruth. Enhanced a bit, but taken from a famous photo.

Photo was taken when he was with Boston. Used years later by Spalding, with artistic license to show him in Yankee Pinstripes...

Also used as the second of his eight m114 Baseball Magazine posters.

I stand corrected! Thought it was a contemporary (1932) photo. Didn't think of the possibility of a 13+ yr old Ruth photo being used (and enhanced). Lesson learned, don't think :)

I get your skepticism. The Ruthian facial features aren’t as prominent in the cover image. But now we know.
