This picture was taken in 1915. The two look nothing alike IMHO.

Now, Thorpe was never ran that slow. Still, Ruth had more power and pitching.

The shadow of the photographer was cast by someone who looks a lot like the Babe.

The shadow has a chance of being left-handed, as opposed to the ballplayer in the picture.

Funny I was thinking these looked more like Joe Jackson and Jim Thorpe than most of the "help me match these guys (actually meaning tell me I'm rich on a photo I spent $20 on)" threads look like who they supposedly are.

Default Photo Matched...
Jesse Jackson on left , Orville Wright.....of course on the right....

Amelia Earhart is probable but not likely the photographer.
