Babe Ruth Makes His N.L. Debut - April 16, 1935
Here’s a pic of The Babe crossing the plate after hitting his first N.L. home run off of Carl Hubbell at Braves Field, Boston. I added some color for the occasion (I’ll make a more complete version when I have time). Finally, my thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in the Boston area today…..

Old Timers’ Day - Braves Field, Boston - Sept. 8, 1930

Babe Ruth As A Brooklyn Dodger 1938
Babe adjusts his pants while heading out to coach 1B for the Brooklyn Dodgers at Braves Field, Boston. Not sure of the exact date for this pic, but since he didn’t sign up with Brooklyn until mid-June, that leaves August 12-14 and September 5th.
