1940’s WEAF (NBC) Babe Ruth Baseball Club Card
Given to the kids who were present for a studio broadcast of the “Babe Ruth In Person” radio program.
Young Babe Ruth Readies For the Camera - 1920
The movie camera and wooden fence in the background indicate that this might be a photo taken during spring training. The “1084” code number on the right looks like a still image marker from a studio…yet it doesn’t seem to be from “Headin’ Home”. If it were during the movie shoot, he’d be in heavy makeup and not wearing the Yankee pinstripes. Although uncredited (and Babe is essentially not posed), it looks like this picture may have been snapped by famed baseball photographer Paul Thompson.
