I believe it just re-sold through Heritage last month in their Platinum Night sale.

I’m confident it’s good. I have no doubt that it’s him crossing home plate (with Batboy Eddie Bennett greeting him). Comparing the background from the pre-game opening day photos with this one...looks very consistent. I’ve been interested in this photo, as I’ve always been a fan of the 40K Bat.

Yeah, it's definitely Ruth. I've had this screenshot of the newspaper clipping for a while, and was always hoping that the photo would turn up somewhere.



The one offered in Heritage is close - maybe a second before the one in the paper - but it's clearly the same scene.

Legit I assumed but man that's the skinniest Ruth I've ever seen. I kept looking at it wondering if it was him. These photos confirm it is.

Yeah, his first few years with the Yankees - especially in '20 and '21 - the man was pretty damn svelte.

Graig,

Can I take that to mean that you picked up this beauty? If so, congrats!

No, sir!! It’s a beautiful photo, but luckily, Heritage has great scans on their auction pages. 😀

Whoever came away with it though, they got an amazing photo of a pretty important moment in Babe’s career to enjoy.

He looks more like himself in that newspaper photo. Thanks for posting this.

Perhaps I'm getting too cynical and negative. If I start ragging on forum members again, someone please give me a virtual slap.
