If you go with that one, scan a picture of you as a kid or a son/nephew/cousin/father as a kid and have him incorporate it as one of the faces in the crowd.

For some reasom, it already looks like a lot of the heads are photo-shopped in.

Not sure why, but it has a "cut and paste" look... a lot like the Sgt. Peppers Album Cover. Especially in the foreground...

Great suggestion!

Although my initial suggestion was a bit tongue-in-cheek, it would be an amazing image in Kreindlercolor™.

The first time I saw that image was in Ken Burns' Baseball documentary, and they presented it by showing a super close-up of Ruth's grinning face, then slowly panning out (in typical Burns style) to reveal all the anxious kids surrounding the Babe.

Simply a perfect capture of a moment in time, when things were much simpler, and Babe Ruth was the most popular athlete on the planet.

I think the image appears photoshopped due to the high contrast and amazing quality of black and white photography. When you get a good photographer, the right lighting, and a decent camera, you'd be amazed at the quality of vintage photography.

OK, Milwaukee it is. Found a few interesting ones. With you being a relatively younger guy, I though of Yount, and for 1975 collectors, Yount and Brett. And the stash.

Eric,

If we stick with Ruth, do you have any preference as to the time period with his career?

Here are some nice shots of him with Boston that would fit the size really well:





And a nice one of him with New York in 1921:



Just some suggestions.

For the record, I don't know if it was one you were seriously considering, but the shot of him with all of the kids faces would probably be too much for a 20" x 28" canvas, but if you had your heart set on it, then I'm sure we could work something out.

Either way, hope this gives you a couple of ideas!

Graig

I've always thought that this is the quintessential shot of The Babe. This one has it all...

Yankee Pinstripes, majestic pose, watching one sail into the right field stands. When you look at this image, you can only assume one end result... Home Run
