no, not Joe D. that is a very famous photo, that has been seen by millions for 80+ years. IF that was Joe D, i think someone would have mentioned this before...9 times out of 10, these "is this X in the photo" threads proove to be false.

i have a Joe D. biography at home, i'll see if there is any mention of this "meeting".


p.s. the ears, nose, mouth & eye brows are different.

Mike can you at least confirm if that's Barry or not?

the nostril structure and sinister look, differ from Barry's. i'd have to say it is not him, although the kid 2" to his left, has similar hair.

p.s. Wonka- you owe me a call! it's been way too long.

Agree I do owe you a call...agree with you most likely not Barry. Besides could you imagine the value of a Ruth/Sloate photo!

I've read just about every Joe D. biography out there and there is NO mention of him meeting Ruth as a youngster.

Dan. It could very well be Joe in that photo but it doesn't mean he met the Babe. Take a look at that crowd! Also, Joe was always a very private person not wishing to share his personal life with hardly anyone.

Williams was proud to tell all that the Babe was his Idol and that his goal in life was to be noted as "the best hitter there ever was."

But Joe D was a quiet leader, more like Gehrig. And you can't possibly argue with TEN World Series in 13 seasons...and winning NINE. Joe never had to tell people how good he was, everyone simply understood it.

Certainly someone knows where this photo was taken don't they? If it's San Fran I will concede there is a chance it could be Joe...if it's anywhere else there is ZERO chance that it's him.

If the photo was taken on Joe D's back yard - it's still not him.

That does look like Dom next to him. Surprised no one mentioned Shirley Temple in the upper right hand back.
