Babe Ruth Warms Up With The Red Sox - 1916
Babe was a mere pup when this picture was taken 96 years ago. He would end up having his first 20 win season, going 23-12 with a 1.75 ERA.
Young Babe On The Road - ca. 1916-18
Here’s a new edit, a great close-up of The Babe wearing his Red Sox road uniform, ca. 1916-18. The original had a lot of those annoying old-school, hand-drawn edge lines (better for newspaper printing of the day). I removed quite a bit of them, although you can still see evidence of them in his cap and collar. Cheers! ~B
