Vintage matte-finish photo of Ruth sitting on the dugout steps in his Yankee’s road uniform, trimmed to a size of 10.25 x 13.25, signed and inscribed in fountain pen “To Dan Featherston in memory of Ed King, Sincerely, Babe Ruth.” Trimmed edges, some scattered light silvering, and well-done almost indiscernible professional restoration to one shoulder, facial area and hair line, otherwise fine condition. Long time Yankees physician Edward A. King died on December 9, 1932. Upon hearing of his death, Ruth told the Associated Press that he credited Dr. King “for pulling him through an attack of appendicitis in time for him to help the Yankees trounce the Chicago Cubs in the World Series.” A large and uncommon pose for The Babe. Pre-certified Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
