Description

The Yankee legend practices his world-famous swing in 1928

Classic glossy 7 x 9 photo of the ‘Sultan of Swat’ taking a practice swing in a white shirt and his Yankee pinstripe pants, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, “To Jack Schweitzer Jr., From Babe Ruth.” Archivally double-suede-matted and framed with a biographical plaque to an overall size of 16 x 25. A notation to the lower left dates the photo to July 1928. In very good condition, with scattered creases, some slight tears and small areas of paper loss to edges, and a bit of flaking to ink in inscription and signature. A classic pose of the Babe in his iconic pinstripes.
