Babe Ruth Golfing At St. Albans, Long Island
“Unworried!” - AP Original Photo vs. Herald Examiner Clipping - January 18, 1932
I thought it would be fun to show how an original press photo was edited back in the day for use in the papers. Who is that mysterious suited fellow in the background? He’s probably the reporter and that case next to him most likely held the camera that’s taking the photo we see here today.

It was 84 Years Ago today that The Babe and Will Rogers came by to cheer up the kids at the Boston Children’s Hospital. Babe was in town that day to play the Red Sox at Fenway Park. He went 1-4 with an RBI in a Yankees victory, 9-3 (I guess he didn’t promise any home runs that day!).
