Just two days after he gave his farewell speech at Yankee Stadium, a moment immortalized in Nat Fein’s famous “Babe Bows Out” photograph, the Babe signed and dated this 1930s original photo for two of his fans. Inscribed, “To Bobby and Donie Ruhl from Babe Ruth 6-15-48” in black fountain pen, Ruth signed the front of his road jersey in this stunning photo. Almost as interesting as the important date of the inscription is the wad of chewing gum the Babe has placed on the button of his ballcap, a quaint and common practice at the time. The photo shows some light wear to the white edges. The reverse of the photo has “The Bambino” written in ink and “1925” in pencil. The photo has been encapsulated by PSA and graded a Type II Authentic, and the autograph is certified by PSA.
