OT: Just two of the greatest taking some batting practice

[nat]

You can see NYY #32 and 25 warming up in the background, but the internet seems to think that no one wore those numbers for the Yankees in 1931.

Jimmy Reese wore #25 in 1930, but that's as close as I've found.
32 was shared by: Bill Karlon, Ken Holloway, and Frank Barnes in 1930.

I guess they wore different uniforms for exhibition games?

I was also checking out the uniform numbers but they really didn't make much sense. Mayne this wasn't 1931.

amazing how low they kept their hands compared to modern batters.

Terrific!

Just....wow.

So cool.

Good call on the low hands observation. There must be something to that! I also love how you can see, in full glory, how Babe gracefully shifts all his weight forward; it’s not simply taking a big step.
